First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis: A Retrospective Comparison of Crossed-screws, Locking and Non-Locking Plate Fixation with Lag Screw
Authors
Abstract:
Background:Locking plate fixation is increasingly used for first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP-I) arthrodesis. Still there is few comparable clinical data regarding this procedure. Methods:We retrospectively evaluated 60 patients who received an arthrodesis of the MTP-I between January 2008 and June 2010. With 20 patients each we performed a locking plate fixation with lag screw, arthrodesis with crossed-screwsor with a nonlocking plate with lag screw. Results: There were four non-unions in crossed-screws patients and one nonunion in non-locked plate group. All the patients in locking plate group achieved union. 90% of the patients were completely or mildly satisfied in locking plate group, whereas this rate was 80% for patients in both crossed screws and non-locking plate groups. Conclusions: Use of dorsal plating for arthrodesis of MTP1 joint either locking or non-locking were associated with high union rate and acceptable and comparable functional outcome. Although nonunion rate was high using two crossed screws but functional outcome was not significantly different compare to dorsal plating. Level of evidence:Ш, retrospective comparative study

First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis: A Retrospective Comparison of Crossed-screws, Locking and Non-Locking Plate Fixation with Lag Screw.
BACKGROUND Locking plate fixation is increasingly used for first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP-I) arthrodesis. There are still few comparable clinical data regarding this procedure. In this study we aimed to compare the clinical and radiographical outcomes of crossed-screws, locking and non-locking plate fixation with lag screw for first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis. METHODS A total...
full textFirst metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis: quantitative mechanical testing of six-hole dorsal plate versus crossed screw fixation in cadaveric specimens.
Quantitative strength analysis of first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis was performed using two fixation techniques: a small 6-hole plate with an interfragmentary screw or two crossed lag screws. Twelve matched-pair fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens (24 trials) were used for direct comparison of each of the two fixation techniques. All joint surfaces were prepared with power conical reamer...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to further evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of two locking screws versus three standard bicortical screws in synthetic models of normal and osteoporotic bone. METHODS Synthetic tubular bone models representing normal bone density and osteoporotic bone density were used. Artificial fracture gaps of 1 cm were created in each specimen before fixation with one of two...

Tibiotalocalcaneal Arthrodesis Using a Femoral Locking Plate
The goal of a tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis is to create a pain-free, stable hindfoot and ankle. Although a reserved procedure, it is useful when simultaneous ankle and subtalar joint pathology exists. Numerous complications have been reported after tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis, most importantly nonunion. Locking plates have proved to be a more stable construct than alternative forms of arth...
