Cheilectomy surgery effectively treats hallux rigidus by removing bone spurs, improving joint motion. Most patients experienced satisfactory outcomes and enhanced range of motion after this procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Podiatric medicine

Background:

  • Hallux rigidus involves degenerative changes in the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
  • Limited joint motion, particularly dorsiflexion, significantly impacts foot function and patient quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of cheilectomy in treating hallux rigidus.
  • To assess patient outcomes and range of motion improvements following cheilectomy.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 20 patients with hallux rigidus treated with cheilectomy.
  • Assessment of surgical outcomes and joint range of motion at an 18-month follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Satisfactory outcomes were reported in 18 out of 20 cases (90%).

  • Significant improvement in the range of joint motion, especially dorsiflexion, was observed in the majority of patients.
  • Only 2 cases were considered surgical failures.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cheilectomy is a safe and effective surgical option for hallux rigidus.
    • The procedure offers a viable alternative to more invasive treatments like arthrodesis.
    • Cheilectomy can restore joint function and improve patient mobility.
