Outcomes of Scarf and Akin Osteotomy with Intra-Articular Stepwise Lateral Soft Tissue Release for Correcting Hallux Valgus Deformity in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Abstract:Background. The effectiveness of scarf and Akin osteotomy with intra-articular lateral soft tissue release for the correction of hallux valgus (HV) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has not been elucidated. Methods. A total of 36 feet in 28 patients with RA who had scarf and Akin osteotomy with intra-articular stepwise lateral soft tissue release between 2015 and 2020 at a single institute were investigated retrospectively, with a mean follow-up period of 32.0 ± 16.9 months. Radiographic evaluations i… Show more
“…Matsumoto et al [ 5 ] assessed the outcomes of scarf and Akin osteotomy with intra-articular stepwise lateral soft tissue release in patients with RA. Intra-articular stepwise lateral soft tissue release involves three steps: (1) dissection of the lateral metatarsosesamoid suspensory ligament; (2) lateral capsulotomy at the joint level; (3) tenotomy of the adductor tendon insertion into the proximal phalanx.…”
In the past few decades, physicians have been able to effectively manage patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) thanks to advances in treatment strategies including molecular-targeting drugs [...]
