Popis: PurposeTo review the outcome of arthrodesis of the hallux metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint in 23 patients.MethodsRecords of 9 men and 14 women aged 27 to 88 (mean, 57) years who underwent arthrodesis of the hallux MTP joint using an intramedullary device and an intra-osseous device were reviewed. Indications for surgery were severe hallux valgus (n=15), hallux rigidus (n=6) and rheumatoid arthritis (n=2). Outcome measures included visual analogue score (VAS) for pain, the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hallux score, bone union, hallux valgus angle (HVA), dorsiflexion angle (DA), complications, revision, and patient satisfaction.ResultsThe mean follow-up was 19 (range, 6–38) months. The mean AOFAS score improved from 29 to 75.4 (pConclusionThe intramedullary and intra-osseous devices for arthrodesis of the hallux MTP joint achieved good outcome in terms of AOFAS score, VAS for pain, HVA, DA, bone union, and patient satisfaction.
