Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Foot and ankle biomechanics

Background:

  • Historically, resection arthroplasty was the standard for lesser toe deformities.
  • A shift towards functional outcomes and joint preservation is emerging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for reconstructive techniques over resection arthroplasty.
  • To emphasize preserving the integrity of lesser toe joints, particularly the metatarsophalangeal joint.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on reconstructive management strategies.
  • Utilizing tendon transfers.
  • Employing subtle corrective osteotomies, such as the Weil procedure.

Main Results:

  • Preserving joint play, especially the metatarsophalangeal joint, is crucial.

  • Reconstructive methods can effectively correct deformities while maintaining joint function.
  • Resection procedures are now reserved for specific contraction deformities.

    • Conclusions:

    • Modern approaches prioritize saving joint function in lesser toe deformity correction.
    • Tendon transfers and osteotomies offer alternatives to resection, improving biomechanical outcomes.
    • Preserving the metatarsophalangeal joint is key to preventing long-term foot biomechanical disturbances.
