Surgeon point of view

  • Surgeon point of view

    • Congruent joint
    • Joint space (degenerative joint disease)
    • Metatarsal length


Patient point of view:

  • Patient point of view:

    • No bump
    • Straight toe
    • Cosmetic scar
    • Good motion…enough to wear high hell
    • No pain
    • Almost: restituo ad integrum…


Stretching the indications (too big deformity for the procedure)

  • Stretching the indications (too big deformity for the procedure)

  • Wrong procedure for the problem

  • Bad technique of an adequate procedure

    • Inadequate Medial capsule plication
    • Inadequate soft tissue release ( Transverse lig., ADD.H.)
    • Inadequate post-op. dressing


An expected complication for that procedure

  • An expected complication for that procedure

  • A complication non specific to the procedure

  • A misunderstanding of the expected results

  • …….Patient versus Surgeon expectation….

Recurrent deformity

  • Recurrent deformity

  • Malunion

  • Stiffness

  • Avascular necrosis

  • Avascular necrosis



1. Plane of osteotomy

  • 1. Plane of osteotomy

  • 2. DMAA

  • 3. Too big deformity for the procedure

  • 4. Loose capsulorraphy

  • 5. …Lateral soft tissue release



Avoid:

  • Avoid:

    • Doing the osteotomy in line at right angle with the first metatarsal;
    • It is more unstable et tend to go back to it’s previous position
    • Tend to  the bone length
    • (Stiffness)
  • Instead : the osteotomy should be done at right angle to the foot

  • But: Avoid shortening



Here the osteotomy was done to done in the axis of the bone, instead of the foot:

  • Here the osteotomy was done to done in the axis of the bone, instead of the foot:

    • Result: 4 weeks post-op: distal fragment back to it’s original position
  • So if needed to lenghten the bone: a good fixation needed

  • Remove the Medial Eminence

  • parallel to the foot, not the metatarsal.



Primo:

  • Primo:

    • RECOGNIZE
  • Danger:

    • Make a straight toe with an incongruent joint out of a valgus toe but congruent joint
    • With time will displace


  • HV angle < 30 °

  • IM angle < 14 °



Tension should be just enough to prevent lateral displacement

  • Tension should be just enough to prevent lateral displacement

    • With Akin : no over correction
    • Without Akin : minimal overcorrection
  • But Too tight capsulorraphy might lead to stiffness.





Multiple studies:

  • Multiple studies:

  • STR with distal osteotomy : Safe

  • Incidence of AVN is so low, ≤ 1 % (periosteal stripping is more a concern),

  • Most expert : Caution… if a STR is needed

  • The indication is probably stretch… * Proximal osteotomy …

  • * Adding a Akin procedure are safer.



Recurrent deformity

  • Recurrent deformity

  • Malunion

  • Stiffness

  • Avascular necrosis



Improper cuts may lead to instability

  • Improper cuts may lead to instability

  • Dorsiflexion or Plantarflexion

  • Lateral tilt if the translation too big

  • If the cut is at right angle to the foot or slightly caudal (shortening) usually these are very stable and some do not fix them…

  • For more security a fixation is advisable.

  • Orthosorb : If only translational instability

  • Otherwise: a more secure fixation



Shortening of 1rst Metatarsal:

  • Shortening of 1rst Metatarsal:

    • Excessive impaction (osteopenic)
    • Plane of osteotomy too caudal
    • Transfer Metatarsalgia
  • Treatment: (beside orthosis)

    • Lengthening of 1st Metatarsal (Rarely)
    • Shortening lesser Metatarsal ( Better)


Recurrent deformity

  • Recurrent deformity

  • Malunion

  • Stiffness

  • Avascular necrosis



If after correction the join is incongruent

  • If after correction the join is incongruent

  • Faillure to recognise the elevated DMAA > 10 °

  • Do a biplane Chevron

  • Avoid Dorsal incisions

  • Careful not to damage sesamoid apparatus



  • Correction of a DMAA

    • With a biplane chevron


Recurrent deformity

  • Recurrent deformity

  • Malunion

  • Stiffness

  • Avascular necrosis



Avascular necrosis

  • Avascular necrosis

    • Less than 1% after STR
    • In fact, it is the excessive periosteal stripping, but…
    • Difficult salvage:
      • Resection arthroplasty
      • MTP Fusion






1. Transfer Metatarsalgia

  • 1. Transfer Metatarsalgia

    • (Shortening of 1st )
  • 2. Mal-Union

    • Dorsi-Flexion
    • Plantar-Flexion
    • Medial or Lateral tilt
  • 3. Delay, Non-Union



If there is no malunion but only metatarsalgia from a short first metatarsal:

  • If there is no malunion but only metatarsalgia from a short first metatarsal:

    • Lengthening of 1rst Metatarsal
      • Rarely indicated (risk  of stiffness and osteoarthrisis)
    • Shortening Lesser Metatarsal
      • Important to restore the normal cascade pattern
      • Usually M2, but always check M3 for shortening osteotomy
        • Weil osteotomy


1st Metatarsal shortening

  • 1st Metatarsal shortening

  • Dorsi-Flexion mal-union











Long 2nd metatarsal M2>M1

  • Long 2nd metatarsal M2>M1

    • Expected after Mitchell
  • Look at M-3…









Healing in medial rotation

  • Healing in medial rotation

  • Lateral rotation



Rarely : non union

  • Rarely : non union

  • If the alignment is good, be patient, delay union (poor fixation) usually heal (in metaphyseal area)



So to avoid all these displacement:

  • So to avoid all these displacement:

    • A fixation is needed (not the cerclage wire)


Selective Indications and Principles

  • Selective Indications and Principles

    • Metatarsal length absolute importance
      • Need a long 1st Metatarsal or
      • Need to shorten at the same time the 2nd ( and 3rd PRN If the 1st is not longer than the 2nd or 3rd
    • HV angle <40° ( 30-40)
    • IM angle <14°
    • Need a Internal fixation
    • ________________________Ideal Indication:
    • H Valgus with some degenerative changes
      • That some decompression is needed
      • Might be osteoporotic ( witch is a contra-indication for screw fixation like in Ludloff, Scarf, Mann osteotomies)

  • When they listen…( i.e. Not looking at their Question list, or not thinking at their next question, most do not really understand the technical explanations.

  • They tend to underestimate minor warnings

  • So… you need to be clear and need to emphasis mostly on what would be a realistic result.
