Reduced Postoperative Functional Length Ratio Influences Patient Satisfaction in First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Replacement

Long-Term Follow-up of Arthrodesis vs Total Joint Arthroplasty for Hallux Rigidus

“…An isolated phalangeal implant has the advantage of lessening bone resection compared to a total joint system and if revision is required this should be easier since medial column length is retained to a greater extent which may improve patient satisfaction. 1 Several studies have evaluated their use although none to date have provided high-quality evidence and failed to show a benefit over arthrodesis. 2,9,11 One of the perceived advantages of joint replacement over arthrodesis is that patients maintain joint movement.…”

An Imaged-Based Three-Dimensional Study of First Metatarsal Protrusion Distance in Women with and Without Hallux Valgus

“…Future work could compare 2D and 3D measurements of first metatarsal protrusion, quantify the error associated with measuring MPD on images, and assess the degree to which error affects decision making when length of the metatarsals is changed with osteotomy procedures 43 or joint replacement surgery. 44 This research had further limitations. The group size was kept small 9,29,31 due to the high cost of MR imaging.…”

İleri evre halluks rijiduslu hastalarda yerli üretim total eklem artroplastisi ile tedavi sonuçlarımız

“…Bu yöntemle uzun dönem takip sonunda %87 başarılı sonuç bildiren çalışmalar mevcuttur [17,18]. Transfer metatarsalji ve falankstaki aşırı kısalma bu cerrahide hasta memnuniyetini azaltan etmenlerdir [19]. Uyguladığımız artroplasti yöntemiyle ise falanks boyunda herhangi bir değişiklik olmamaktadır.…”
