Management of a Failed Metatarso-Phalangeal Joint Fusion Utilizing a Hemicup Prosthesis

چکیده
We report a case of a 65-year-old man with a painful nonunion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ). It is one of the main severe complications of this surgery. Its prevalence is described between 5% and 10% across different operative techniques. The implantation of hemicup-prosthesis has been successfully used for the hallux rigidus treatment with very promising results. In our case report, we introduce a treatment method of converting a pseudoarthrosis of the first MTPJ, made of two crossing screws into a hemicup-prosthesis as a salvage procedure. This is to our best knowledge the first report using this device for treatment of pseudoarthrosis of the first MTPJ.

As similar lesions in the hand, closed reduction is impossible because of interposition of the volar plate. Open reduction is essential and should be performed as soon as possible after the injury.
متن کاملContribution of plantar fascia to the increased forefoot pressures in diabetic patients.
OBJECTIVES Secondary to peripheral neuropathy, plantar hyperpressure is a proven risk factor for foot ulceration. But limited joint mobility (LJM) and soft tissue abnormalities may also contribute. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships among thickness of plantar fascia, mobility of the metatarso-phalangeal joint, and forces expressed under the metatarsal heads.

متن کاملKnee Fusion or Above-The-Knee Amputation after Failed Two-Stage Reimplantation Total Knee Arthroplasty
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Control of infection after a failed two-stage TKA is not always possible, and the resolution of infection may require an above-knee amputation (AKA) or a the-knee (KF). The purpose of this review is to determine which treatment method (AKA or KF) yields better function and ambulatory status for patients...
متن کاملThe treatment of claw toes by multiple transfers of flexor into extensor tendons.
This paper is an attempt to assess the value of transfer of the flexor into the extensor tendons of the toes in the treatment of claw toes. In the fully developed condition, with hyperextension of the metatarso-phalangeal joints and flexion of the interphalangeal joints, the long flexor tendons can no longer act as slings under the metatarsal heads, which become depressed. Painful callosities d...
