Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Podiatric Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • First metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthroplasty is an alternative to arthrodesis for hallux rigidus.
  • Advancements in implant technology and surgical techniques have expanded treatment options.
  • Existing literature reports good outcomes but highlights concerns regarding complications and long-term efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and potential complications of first MTPJ arthroplasty.
  • To discuss challenges in managing failed arthroplasties and bone loss.
  • To emphasize the need for larger cohorts and extended studies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on first MTPJ arthroplasty.
  • Analysis of patient outcomes, complications, and salvage procedures.
  • Discussion of implant technology and surgical techniques.

Main Results:

  • First MTPJ arthroplasty provides pain relief and preserves motion.
  • Concerns exist regarding increased complications and uncertain long-term efficacy.
  • Bone loss complicates salvage procedures, necessitating further research.

Conclusions:

  • First MTPJ arthroplasty is a viable option for hallux rigidus, but requires careful consideration of risks and benefits.
  • Further research with larger patient groups and longer follow-up periods is needed.
  • Shared decision-making between patients and surgeons is essential for optimal management.
