“…4 Thus accurate and objective methods for measuring the mobility of the first ray of the foot are important to clarify the correlation between the abnormality and hypermobility of the first ray of the foot. 11,16 In normal healthy adults, the mean dorsal motion of the first ray of the foot in the sagittal plane in a nonweightloading condition is reported to be 6 mm with a range of 3 to 9 mm. 9,10,12,19 For individuals with hallux valgus, the mean value is 7 mm, which has been obtained from a wide variety of methods.…”

“…Klaue et al introduced a device that measures dorsal first metatarsal displacement with a numeric value [9]. The validity and reliability of the ''Klaue Device'' has been demonstrated in many studies and has been compared with others methods or radiological investigations [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Several authors quantify a pathological dorsal hypermobility as a displacement, regardless of the test used, of more than 10 mm [3,9,18,19].…”

BackgroundFoot deformities and related problems of the forefoot are very common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The laxity of the medial cuneometatarsal joint and its synovitis are important factors in the development of forefoot deformity. The impaired joint causes the first metatarsal bone to become unstable in the frontal and sagittal planes. In this retrospective study we evaluated data of patients with rheumatoid arthritis who underwent Lapidus procedure. We evaluated the role of the instability in a group of patients, focusing mainly on the clinical symptoms and X-ray signs of the instability.MethodsThe study group included 125 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The indications of the Lapidus procedure were a hallux valgus deformity greater than 15 degrees and varus deformity of the first metatarsal bone with the intermetatarsal angle greater than 15 degrees on anterio-posterior weight-bearing X-ray.ResultsData of 143 Lapidus procedures of 125 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, who underwent surgery between 2004 and 2010 was evaluated. Signs and symptoms of the first metatarsal bone instability was found in 92 feet (64.3%) in our group. The AOFAS score was 48.6 before and 87.6 six months after the foot reconstruction. Nonunion of the medial cuneometatarsal joint arthrodesis on X-rays occurred in seven feet (4.9%).ConclusionThe Lapidus procedure provides the possibility to correct the first metatarsal bone varus position and its instability, as well as providing the possibility to achieve a painless foot for walking. We recommend using the procedure as a preventive surgery in poorly symptomatic patients with rheumatoid arthritis in case of the first metatarsal bone hypermobility.
