Abstract
Purpose
The main purpose of our study was to evaluate satisfaction, recurrence, bone union and other complications after a minimum of two years follow-up in patients who had percutaneous claw and hammer (CHT) second toe correction utilizing a novel distal and bicortical proximal phalanx osteotomy (DBPPO).
Methods
A minimum two-year follow-up prospective cohort study was conducted on consecutive patients with symptomatic CHT deformities of the second toe corrected with percutaneous surgery. Primary outcomes included satisfaction, recurrence, bony union, and other complication rates specific to the second toe deformity correction. Secondary outcomes included Metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal AOFAS scale and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
Results
Between January and October 2020, 34 patients (43 feet) were clinically and radiologically evaluated pre and postoperatively at a mean of 26.6 months. Thirty-eight feet (88.4 %) were satisfied or very satisfied with their second toe deformity correction and 41 feet (95.3 %) would undergo surgery on this toe again. No deformity recurrence requiring revision was found. There were two complications (4.7 %): one toe (2.3 %) with persistent numbness and one (2.3 %) had a simple infection that resolved with oral antibiotics. All 43 s toe osteotomies demonstrated bony consolidation. Stiffness was reported in nine second toes (20.9 %), seven of them (77.8 %) having a rigid pre-operative deformity. Secondary outcomes demonstrated significant improvement in the mean ( ± standard deviation) AOFAS score which increased from 47.5 ± 17.9 preoperatively to 95.7 ± 7.7 postoperatively (p < .001). Mean VAS significantly improved from 4.9 ± 2.5 preoperatively to 0.3 ± 1.3 postoperatively (p < .001).
Conclusion
Percutaneous treatment of claw and hammer second toe deformities utilizing a DBPPO resulted in high levels of satisfaction with bony consolidation, no recurrence and low complication rates at two years follow-up.Level of evidence: Level II – Prospective cohort study
期刊介绍:
Foot and Ankle Surgery is essential reading for everyone interested in the foot and ankle and its disorders. The approach is broad and includes all aspects of the subject from basic science to clinical management. Problems of both children and adults are included, as is trauma and chronic disease. Foot and Ankle Surgery is the official journal of European Foot and Ankle Society.
The aims of this journal are to promote the art and science of ankle and foot surgery, to publish peer-reviewed research articles, to provide regular reviews by acknowledged experts on common problems, and to provide a forum for discussion with letters to the Editors. Reviews of books are also published. Papers are invited for possible publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery on the understanding that the material has not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal and does not infringe prior copyright.
