Objective: In this study, we evaluated
the treatment results of the 1. metatarsophalangeal joint total arthroplasty in
patients with advanced stage of hallux rigidus.
Materials and
Methods:
Total joint arthroplasty was applied to 18 patients with stage 3 and 4 hallux
rigidus according to Coughlin and Shurnas classification. Range of motion,
visual analogue scale (VAS) and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Association
(AOFAS) scores were evaluated retrospectively twelve months after surgery.
Results: The average age of the
patients was 64.44±7.16. The mean follow-up period was 18.4±2.43 months.
Significant improvement was observed in the range of motion degrees (p=0,001), VAS (p<0,001) and AOFAS (p=0,001)
scores in patients with metatarsophalangeal joint total arthroplasty.
Complications such as implant failure, fracture, severe infection were not
observed during follow-up periods.
Conclusion: Total joint arthroplasty as
a current treatment for advanced-stage hallux rigidus patients is promising
with good results.
