Symptomatic hallux interphalangeal joint extension deformities can be effectively treated. Osteotomy is recommended for patients without joint pathology, while fusion suits older individuals or those with existing joint issues.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Podiatry
  • Foot and Ankle Surgery

Background:

  • Hallux interphalangeal joint (IPJ) deformities can cause significant symptoms.
  • Extension deformities of the hallux IPJ are not well-documented in medical literature.

Observation:

  • Four cases of symptomatic hallux IPJ extension deformity were observed.
  • Patients presented with varying degrees of joint pathology and age.

Findings:

  • Osteotomy of the proximal phalanx provided effective treatment for patients without pre-existing joint pathology.
  • Interphalangeal fusion is a recommended surgical option for older patients or those with established joint pathology.

Implications:

  • This study introduces a previously unreported condition affecting the hallux IPJ.
