Triplane malalignment of the first ray often causes instability at the first metatarsocuneiform joint (MCJ). Anatomical arthrodesis leverages the MCJ

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Foot and Ankle Reconstruction
  • Biomechanical Analysis

Background:

  • Triplane malalignment of the first ray is a common cause of first metatarsocuneiform joint (MCJ) instability.
  • The unique concave-convex topography of the MCJ allows for first metatarsal translation in multiple planes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel "anatomical arthrodesis" technique for the first MCJ.
  • To utilize the joint's natural topography for accurate repositioning of the first metatarsal.

Main Methods:

  • A step-by-step surgical procedure for anatomical arthrodesis of the first MCJ is detailed.
  • Emphasis is placed on identifying and managing challenging aspects of the technique.

Main Results:

  • The described method aims to effectively address first ray hypermobility and multiplanar malalignment.
  • Successful application of the technique can restore optimal spatial positioning of the first metatarsal.

Conclusions:

  • Anatomical arthrodesis offers an effective solution for first metatarsocuneiform joint instability.
  • This technique leverages the joint's inherent topography for precise surgical correction.
