Popis: Background: Joint-preserving surgery for the forefoot has been increasingly performed for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We compared joint-preserving surgeries with resection arthroplasty for RA in the forefoot. Methods: Forefoot surgeries were performed on 62 toes in 42 patients with RA (men: 2
women: 40) between 2002 and 2018. Three groups were compared: PP—31 toes treated with joint-preserving surgery involving the modified Mann method for the big toe and offset osteotomy for lesser toes, PR—15 toes treated with joint-preserving surgery for the big toe and resection arthroplasty for lesser toes, and RR—16 toes treated with resection arthroplasty for all the toes. Results: The PP group had significantly higher mean scores on a scale for RA in the foot and ankle at the latest follow-up than the RR group (86 vs. 75 points
p <
0.05). Hallux valgus (angle >
20°) of the big toe at the latest follow-up recurred in 10 (32%), 9 (60%), and 16 (100%) patients in the PP, PR, and RR groups, respectively. A revision surgery was performed in one patient each in the PP and PR groups. Conclusions: Joint-preserving surgery is superior to resection arthroplasty in preventing function loss and the recurrence of hallux valgus.
