Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomaterials science

Background:

  • Hardware removal is required in approximately 10% of hallux valgus surgeries due to complications or patient preference.
  • Permanent metallic implants can cause secondary issues, including pain, imaging interference, and the need for removal.
  • Bioabsorbable fixation implants have been developed as an alternative to metallic implants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the challenges associated with permanent hardware in hallux valgus surgery.
  • To discuss the development and limitations of current bioabsorbable fixation implants.
  • To highlight the ongoing research into newer generations of resorbable implants.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of hallux valgus surgery outcomes.
  • Analysis of bioabsorbable implant materials and their properties.
  • Evaluation of clinical challenges and advancements in resorbable implant technology.

Main Results:

  • Metallic implants necessitate removal in a significant patient subset.
  • Early bioabsorbable implants faced limitations in mechanical strength and degradation predictability.
  • Advancements are leading to improved generations of resorbable orthopedic implants.

Conclusions:

  • Bioabsorbable implants present a promising alternative to permanent hardware in hallux valgus surgery.
  • Further research and development are crucial to optimize the performance and clinical outcomes of resorbable implants.
  • Addressing limitations in mechanical properties and degradation profiles is key for future implant generations.
