Abstract
Case
A 26-year-old elite male swimmer presented with chronic, isolated, hallux metatarsophalangeal joint varus instability status post previous lateral collateral ligament repair. We report a novel surgical technique for revision first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP-1) lateral collateral ligament reconstruction using soft tissue imbrication and augmentation with a degradable polycaprolactone-based polyurethane urea (PUUR) matrix. There is paucity in the literature describing the surgical management of revision lateral collateral ligament injury in these cases.
Conclusion
Our reconstruction technique using degradable PUUR matrix restores natural soft tissue elasticity, provides a scaffolding for neocollagenesis, is bioinert, and delivers a low-profile reconstruction allowing the patient to return to high level competition with excellent patient outcomes at one year follow up.
