Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Foot and Ankle Surgery

Background:

  • Hallux metatarsophalangeal joint cheilectomy is a joint-preserving procedure.
  • Osteophyte resection addresses dorsal impingement and footwear irritation in hallux rigidus.
  • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and arthroscopic techniques are increasingly utilized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of minimally invasive cheilectomy for hallux rigidus.
  • To compare MIS cheilectomy with traditional open techniques.
  • To identify the indications and theoretical benefits of MIS cheilectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on minimally invasive and open hallux rigidus cheilectomy.
  • Analysis of patient outcomes, including cosmesis, wound complications, and recovery time.
  • Focus on mild-to-moderate hallux rigidus (Grades I-II) with dorsal osteophytes.

Main Results:

  • MIS cheilectomy is indicated for symptomatic hallux rigidus (Grades I-II) unresponsive to nonoperative management.
  • Outcomes of MIS cheilectomy are generally equivalent to open cheilectomy.
  • Theoretical benefits include improved cosmesis, fewer wound complications, and faster recovery.

Conclusions:

  • Minimally invasive cheilectomy is a viable joint-sparing option for specific hallux rigidus cases.
  • While outcomes are comparable to open surgery, further research may clarify superiority.
  • MIS offers potential advantages in patient recovery and aesthetic results.
