This study introduces an arthroscopic technique for first metatarsocuneiform (MC) joint arthrodesis to treat hallux valgus. The procedure effectively fused the joint, improved foot alignment, and minimized first ray shortening.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Foot and ankle reconstruction
  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques

Background:

  • First metatarsocuneiform (MC) joint hypermobility is linked to symptomatic hallux valgus.
  • First MC joint arthrodesis corrects the intermetatarsal angle but risks pseudoarthrosis and first ray shortening.
  • Evaluating a novel arthroscopic approach for first MC joint arthrodesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the outcomes of an arthroscopic technique for first MC joint arthrodesis.
  • To assess the efficacy and safety of this minimally invasive procedure for hallux valgus correction.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of five patients with severe hallux valgus and first MC joint hypermobility underwent arthroscopic arthrodesis.
  • Surgical procedure involved arthroscopic fusion of the first metatarsocuneiform joint.

Lateral-PLIF for Lumbar Spinal Arthrodesis: A Detailed Step-By-Step Surgical Technique

Published on: January 23, 2026

Main Results:

  • All patients achieved radiographic fusion of the first MC joint.
  • Significant improvements were observed: hallux valgus angle (25.6°) and intermetatarsal angle (10.6°).
  • First ray shortening was minimal, averaging 2.7 mm.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopic arthrodesis of the first MC joint is a viable and effective treatment option for hallux valgus.
  • This technique offers good functional outcomes with minimal complications like first ray shortening.
