| Popis: | Category: Bunion; Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: The proximal opening wedge metatarsal osteotomy (PMO) of the first metatarsal is a common procedure for the surgical treatment of moderate to severe hallux valgus. Although with a long track record of success, limited work has been dedicated to this procedures effect on the first tarsometatarsal (TMT-1) joint. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes in TMT-1 joint contact stress in the diseased and corrected state following an opening wedge osteotomy of the proximal metatarsal. In addition, the effect of a distal soft tissue release (DSTR) was evaluated as it related to both radiographic correction and TMT-1 joint contact stress. Methods: Seven fresh-frozen cadaveric below knee specimens (mean age: 69yrs) with hallux valgus deformities (mean HVA: 31.7+-12.0degs) were obtained for the study. The specimen was loaded up to 400N on an MTS servo hydraulic load frame with the tibia at 90-degree to the neutrally position foot. Joint contact characteristics at TMT-1 joint were measured with a Tekscan pressure sensor (Model6900, 1100psi). A standard proximal metatarsal osteotomy was performed. Various sized metal wedges (3, 5, 7 mm) with locking plates and screws were inserted in the osteotomy for correction. Following initial tests, a complete distal soft tissue release (DSTR) was performed and the specimens were retested. Additionally, dorsoplantar weight bearing (400N) radiograph was obtained for each condition to measure intermetatarsal (IMA) and hallux valgus (HVA) angles. The contact force, area, and peak contact stress were compared among groups using ANOVA and post-hoc multiple comparisons over the untreated (Dunnett test, p |
