RESUMO
BACKGROUND: There has been scant investigation on the relationship between the distal aspect of the medial longitudinal arch and pes planus deformity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the reduction and stabilization of the distal aspect of the medial longitudinal arch through fusion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) can subsequently improve pes planus deformity parameters. This could be useful in both further understanding the role of the distal medial longitudinal arch in patients with pes planus and planning operative intervention in patients with multifactorial medial longitudinal arch problems. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was undertaken between January 2011 and October 2021, including patients undergoing first MTPJ fusion with a pes planus deformity on weightbearing preoperative radiographs. These were compared to postoperative images, and multiple pes planus measurements were taken for comparison. RESULTS: A total of 511 operations were identified for further analysis, with 48 feet meeting the inclusion criteria. There was a statistically significant reduction identified between the pre- and postoperative measurements of Meary angle (3.75 degrees, 95% CI 2.9-6.47 degrees) and talonavicular coverage angle (1.48 degrees, 95% CI 1.09-3.44 degrees). There was a statistically significant increase between the pre- and postoperative measurements of calcaneal pitch angle (2.32 degrees, 95% CI 0.24-4.41 degrees) and medial cuneiform height (1.25 mm, 95% CI 0.6-1.92 mm). Reduced intermetatarsal angle was significantly associated with an increase in first MTPJ angle postfusion. Many of the measurements made were found "almost perfectly" reproducible by the Landis and Koch description. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate that fusion of the first MTPJ is associated with improvement of medial longitudinal arch parameters of a pes planus deformity but not to levels considered to be clinically normal. Therefore, the distal aspect of the medial longitudinal arch could, to some degree, be a feature in the pes planus deformity etiology. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective case control study.

PURPOSE: The main tendon of the extensor hallucis longus (EHL) muscle attaches to the dorsal aspect of the distal phalanx of the great toe. One or multiple accessory tendons of the EHL have been reported in several ethnic/regional groups, except Taiwan. This study aimed to investigate the incidence, length, and insertion of the accessory tendon of the EHL in Taiwanese people. METHODS: Anatomical dissection was performed on 48 feet of 24 formalin-embalmed cadavers. The occurrence and morphological characteristics of the accessory tendon of the EHL were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: The accessory tendon of the EHL was found in 97.92% (47/48) of the legs that were dissected. In one male cadaver, an independent muscle belly was identified in each leg, whereas all the other accessory tendons originated from the main tendon of the EHL. In this study, the insertion of the accessory tendon were classified into four patterns. The most common insertion sites were the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint capsule and proximal phalanx of the great toe. The length of the accessory tendons did not correlate with age or with sex when the two tendons with independent muscle belly were excluded. CONCLUSIONS: The accessory tendon of the EHL appears to be a regular feature in Taiwanese people. Most accessory tendons of the EHL (85.7%) attached on the first MTP joint capsule may play a role in the prevention of capsular impingement during great toe extension.

Extensor hallucis capsularis (EHC) is an accessory tendon located medially to extensor halluces longus (EHL) tendon. Most EHC is known to originate as a tendinous slip of the EHL tendon, although it may be splitted from the tibialis anterior (TA) tendon or the extensor halluces brevis (EHB) tendon. During routine dissection of a 49-year-old male cadaver, independent muscle bellies of EHC were discovered bilaterally. The EHL muscle arose from the middle anteromedial aspect of fibula, lateral to the origin of TA muscle and medial to extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle. An additional muscle bellies were separated from EHL muscle at the point of 6 cm away from EHL origin in the right leg, and 3 cm away in the left. They coursed downward as EHC to reach the first metatarsophalangeal joint capsule. This muscle, unlike the variations identified to date, is considered to extend to EHC, and the name "extensor hallucis capsularis muscle" is offered. This kind of variation may be important for investigating the development of deformity at the first metatarsophalangeal joint, such as hallux valgus.

This study aimed to evaluate whether radiographic abnormalities at yearling sales were associated with the failure to start racing at 2-3 years of age. Radiographic abnormalities in the carpal (n=852), tarsal (n=976), metacarpophalangeal (n=1,055), and metatarsophalangeal joints (n=1,031) from 1,082 horses, recorded at yearling sale, were reviewed. Eighty-two horses (7.6%) failed to start racing. Radiographic abnormalities such as wedged or collapsed tarsal bones, irregular lucency of a sagittal ridge at the distal aspect of the distal third metatarsal bone, and proximal dorsal fragmentation of the first phalanx in metatarsophalangeal joints were associated with failure to start racing in these horses. In the follow-up survey of 12 horses with one or more these radiographic abnormalities, the horses failed to start racing due to reasons unrelated to these radiographic abnormalities such as pelvic fractures (2 horses), fracture of a distal phalanx (1 horse), cervical stenotic myelopathy and proximal sesamoid fracture (1 horse), superficial digital flexor tendonitis (2 horses), laryngeal hemiplegia (1 horse), economic problems (2 horses) and unknown causes (3 horses). Although radiographic abnormalities at yearling sales can be associated with failure to start racing at 2-3 years of age, these radiographically detected abnormalities might not necessarily cause that failure.

Hallux valgus is the most common orthopedic problem of the adult foot. The etiology can be congenital, associated with the occurrence of metatarsus primus varus, or acquired, which is closely related to wearing ill-fitting shoes. Hallux valgus occurs almost exclusively in shod societies and, therefore, is a very uncommon finding in archaeological remains. We present a partial first ray of the left foot belonging to a dismembered Egyptian mummy recovered in the necropolis of Sharuna (Middle Egypt) and dated to the end of the Old Kingdom (circa 2100 BC). The mummification process led to a metatarsophalangeal joint in connection by means of soft tissues. The alignment of this joint could be diagnosed as a hallux valgus. Further examination showed a metatarsophalangeal angle of 28°. After a comprehensive literature search and noting that all of the previous cases were described by indirect factors, such as mounting the joint in dry bones, we can state with certainty that the piece we present herein is the oldest case of mummified hallux valgus.

PURPOSE: Our aim was to identify the incidence and distribution of sesamoid bones plantar to the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints in adults, and to evaluate patterns of coincidence among these sesamoid bones. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of 7949 plain radiographs obtained from patients evaluated for foot trauma or symptomology. Associations between the distributions of MTP sesamoid bones as well as the association of age, sex, and laterality with identified prevalence, distribution, and coincidence were evaluated using Spearman's correlation coefficient. RESULTS: Overall, 17,060 sesamoid bones were identified for 9005 MTP joints, with 16 distinctive distribution patterns. Among possible patterns, we identified a prevalence rate of complete absence of MTP sesamoid of 0.04 %, of a single sesamoid at the hallux of 89.08 % of radiographs; and of sesamoid at ≥2 MTP joints of 10.88 %. The presence of a sesamoid at the hallux was consistent, and was not correlated with the presence or absence of a sesamoid bone at one of the other MTP joints (P > 0.05). However, there was a positive correlation between the presence and absence of sesamoid bones at any two of the other four MTP joints (P < 0.001). Age was positively correlated with both the total number of sesamoids present (P < 0.001) and the number of MTP joints with sesamoids (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Information from this study would assist clinicians in the diagnosis of patients presenting with pain and discomfort of the foot after trauma and overuse, as well as contribute a robust data set for research in forensic science and anthropology.

A 6-month-old Caucasian baby is described with a postaxial polydactyly of the letf foot. Radiographic examination revealed the accessory digit was composed of soft tissue, some with a tiny osseous element, originated from around the metatarsophalangeal joint, defined by floating type (FT). The parents had consistent difficulty putting shoes. We encountered an exceedingly rare presentation of FT, to our inspection, had neither been previously related in published studies. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the unusual case of congenital deformity lesion on the left foot to be reported in the medical literature.

Managing digital and metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) deformities can range from simple to complex and uniplanar to triplanar. Because of the complexity and variability of digital and MTPJ deformities, there are many procedures, and no 1 procedure has become the gold standard. Tendon transfers for digital and MTPJ deformities are just 1 treatment option, and usually they are not stand-alone procedures. Typically, a combination of procedures needs to be performed. This article describes the surgical technique and provides a review of the literature, including clinical results for tendon transfers of the central rays.

Brachymetatarsia deformity is a cosmetically displeasing anomaly that can become physically symptomatic. The surgical techniques most commonly used to repair the anomaly include single-stage lengthening with a bone graft, callus distraction, or a combination of bone grafting and callus distraction. A systematic review of the published data was performed to compare the outcomes of these 3 surgical procedures. A total of 61 studies reporting the use of callus distraction or single-stage lengthening, or both, for the treatment of brachymetatarsia were included in the present review. The incidence of major postoperative complications after callus distraction, single-stage lengthening, and the combination procedure was 49 (12.62%), 13 (3.72%), and 3 (33.33%), respectively. The number of minor complications with callus distraction, single-stage lengthening, and the combination procedure was 152 (39.18%), 55 (15.76%), and 1 (11.11%); the mean percentage of the original length achieved was 37.36%, 25.98% and 36.00%; and the mean length achieved was 17.5, 13.2, and 14.0 mm, respectively. The healing index (mo/cm) and healing time was 2.31 and 16.04 weeks, 1.90 and 9.35 weeks, and 3.93 and 14.62 weeks for callus distraction, single-stage lengthening, and the combination procedure, respectively. Our findings indicate that the callus distraction technique is associated with greater length gained but results in greater complication rates and requires almost twice the time to heal. Single-stage lengthening with a bone graft was associated with fewer complications and faster healing times than callus distraction but with lesser gains in length. From the information reported in the studies we reviewed, the prevalence of bilateral brachymetatarsia was 44.52%, and the female/male ratio was 13.7:1. Both of these findings seem to contradict the usual data given (72% for bilateral brachymetatarsia and a female/male ratio of 25:1).

A 17-year-old boy reported left second and third toe pain after axial loading injury to his left foot. Radiographs showed collapse of the second metatarsal heads and epiphysial irregularities of the fifth metatarsal heads and the condyle of the proximal phalanx of the hallux of both feet. The patient was diagnosed to have Thompson and Hamilton type IV Freiberg's disease. He was screened for epiphysial dysplasia of the other sites. He had on and off bilateral hip and knee pain. Radiographs showed bilateral symmetrical epiphysial abnormalities with morphological change as focal concavity in bilateral femoral heads and fragmentation of the patellar articular surface with preservation of the patellofemoral joint space.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the spectrum and frequency of MR findings of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) in asymptomatic volunteers. METHODS: MR imaging of 30 asymptomatic forefeet was performed with a dedicated extremity 1.5-Tesla system. Participants were between 20 and 49 years of age (mean ± SD: 35.5 ± 8.4 years). Two radiologists assessed cartilage, bone, capsuloligamentous structures, and tendons of first MTPJs on MR images. RESULTS: Cartilage defects were observed in 27 % (n = 8) of first MTPJs, most frequently located at the base of the proximal phalanx (23 %, n = 7), whereas cartilage defects of the metatarsal head (13 %, n = 4) and the metatarsosesamoid compartment were rare (0 %-3 %, n = 0-1). Bone marrow oedema-like signal changes were present in 37 % (n = 11) and subchondral cysts in 20 % (n = 6) of first MTPJs. Hyperintense areas on intermediate-weighted sequences (range: 30-43 %, n = 9-13) and on fluid-sensitive sequences with fat suppression (range: 33-60 %, n = 10-18) within the medial and lateral collateral ligament complex were common. Plantar recesses (77 %, n = 23) and distal dorsal recesses (87 %, n = 26) were frequently observed. CONCLUSIONS: Cartilage defects, bone marrow oedema-like signal changes, subchondral cysts, plantar recesses, and distal dorsal recesses were common findings on MRI of first MTPJs in asymptomatic volunteers. The collateral ligaments were often heterogeneous in structure and showed increased signal intensity. KEY POINTS: ⢠Cartilage defects of asymptomatic first metatarsophalangeal joints were common on MRI. ⢠The collateral ligaments were often heterogeneous in structure and showed increased signal intensity. ⢠Areas of increased signal intensity within the flexor and extensor tendons were rare. ⢠These observations need to be considered in MR examinations of symptomatic cases.

The prevalence and distribution of the sesamoid bones in the feet has been reported in the literature with a high degree of variability. This systematic review aims to provide a better estimate of the frequency of the sesamoids of the foot and their association with variables such as ancestry, gender, and side. Thirty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria and were submitted for meta-analyses, sensitivity analyses and proportion difference tests, whenever possible. At the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint of the hallux, sesamoids were nearly always present. At the interphalangeal (IP) joint, the pooled true estimates of large-sampled studies were: (1) an overall prevalence of 22.4 %, (2) a cadaveric rate at 71.6 %, and (3) a radiological rate (based on X-ray images) of 21.1 %. The pooled partition frequencies of the hallucal medial and lateral sesamoids were 10.7 and 1.3 %, respectively. Bipartism was the most frequent partition type (92 %), followed by tripartism (7.5 %) and quadripartism (0.5 %). Middle Eastern ancestry was associated with significantly lower hallucal partition rate (P < 0.0001) and African ancestry with significantly lower prevalence of the IP sesamoid than all other ethnicities (P < 0.001). Feet with a hallux valgus deformity seemed to be associated with significantly higher rate of partition of the medial sesamoid (odds ratio = 3) than that of the normal feet. The respective values of the pooled true prevalence in adults at the MTP joint for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th toes were 1.9, 0.32, 0.9 and 13 %, respectively. There was a significantly higher prevalence of tibial sesamoids vs lateral sesamoids, with pooled odds ratio of 34.7, 8, 4.8, and 2.27, respectively. Partition was found in around 10 % of the sesamoids of the 5th MTP joint; no partition was noted in the other toes. For most 2nd-5th MTP joints, European ancestry showed the highest frequency whereas African ancestry showed the lowest; Middle Eastern ancestry was in between. No sesamoids were found at the 4th proximal IP joint and at the 4th and 5th distal IP joints. No sesamoids were found at any IP joint in the feet of Middle Eastern and African populations. The pooled rates of the IP sesamoids of the second and third toes in European populations were 1.2 % for the 2nd proximal, 0.33 % for the second distal and 0.6 % for both IP joints of the third toe. This anatomical meta-analysis yielded results that are likely to be more accurate regarding the rates of the sesamoids in the foot, their laterality and partition. It also provided solid evidence for the genetic basis of the frequency distribution among the different populations.

BACKGROUND: Interpositional arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is a rare procedure which is indicated for reconstruction of an insufficient, short first ray due to loosening of an endoprosthesis, osteomyelitis or after a Keller procedure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a retrospective study we evaluated the outcome of 15 patients with a mean age of 62 years, who underwent an interpositional arthrodesis of the first MTP joint. Correction of the deformity was achieved by osteotomy of the tricortical bone graft. Osteosynthesis was performed by use of screw fixation alone or by combined screw, plate and K-wire fixation. Postoperatively patients were mobilised for 10 weeks in a forefoot off loading shoe. Clinical and radiological examination was performed 10 weeks postoperatively. Radiological parameters such as hallux valgus angle, MTP dorsiflexion angle and the graft size were measured. In all patients pre- and postoperatively, the intensity of pain (VAS), the overall satisfaction with the procedure and the American orthopaedic foot and ankle score (AOFAS score) were evaluated. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 26 months (range 4-48 months). The mean pain intensity measured with the VAS was reduced from 7.5 preoperatively to 0.5 postoperatively. In 14 patients fusion of the arthrodesis was achieved at a mean of 12 weeks. One patient developed a pseudarthrosis which was effectively treated by extracorporeal shockwaves. Postoperatively radiological measurements demonstrated a mean hallux valgus angle of 16° (range 6-28°), a mean MTP dorsiflexion angle of 17° (range 12-27°) and a mean graft size of 16 mm (range 10-30 mm). The mean AOFAS score improved from 26 preoperatively to 81 postoperatively. All but 1 patient were satisfied with the final outcome and achieved free mobility. CONCLUSIONS: Interpositional arthrodesis of the first MTP joint achieves good clinical and radiological results with a high level of patient satisfaction in patients with an insufficient and short first ray of the foot.

Juvenile hallux valgus (JHV) is a relatively common condition in the female adolescent. The etiology of the condition has been attributed to various deformities in the forefoot, ranging from the first metatarsophalangeal joint, the morphology of the distal metatarsal, and the intermetatarsal angle (IMA). There have been very few studies evaluating the first metarsocuneiform (MTC) joint, and the results available vary. The purpose of this study is to more critically evaluate the MTC joint with novel angular measurements as a contributor to JHV. A cohort of 46 feet from 29 patients (average age 14.2 years) with hallux valgus as defined as IMA of greater than 10 degrees were evaluated. The hallux valgus angle, IMA, base of first metatarsal to articular surface of medial cuneiform angle, first metatarsal to cuneiform (1MCA), second metatarsal to cuneiform (2MCA), intrinsic medial cuneiform obliquity angle (COA), distal metatarsal articular angle, and ratio of first cuneiform to second cuneiform length were measured. The same was done for an age-matched control group of 36 normal feet from 25 patients (average age 13.2 years). The two groups were statistically compared. There were several statistically significant differences between the study and control groups. Naturally, the hallux valgus angle and IMA were statistically greater by definition. In addition, the distal metatarsal articular angle and 1MCA were significantly larger in the study group. The magnitude of the 2MCA was found to positively correlate with the magnitude of the IMA. The COA angle was not found to be statistically different. In conclusion, the role of the MTC joint in JHV has been evaluated earlier with varying results. The objective of this study is to critically evaluate the MTC joint with novel angular measurements to delineate its contribution to JHV. One such novel measurement is the 1MCA. The statistically significant increase in 1MCA suggests that a property intrinsic to the articulation between the medial cuneiform and the first metatarsal may be involved in JHV. Another angle, the 2MCA was found to positively correlated with increased IMA, further implicating the MTC joint as a contributor to increased IMA and thus, JHV. Third, the COA was used to define the intrinsic obliquity of the medial cuneiform articular angle. This angle was not found to be statistically different between the study and control groups, suggesting that the morphology of the cuneiform is not involved in JHV.

We report a case of Jaccoud's arthropathy with forefoot plantar callosity. The lesser toe metatarsal heads were resected and Swanson's double-stemmed flexible-hinge implant arthroplasty of the first metatarsophalangeal joint was performed. An osteolytic defect had formed around the implant after 2 years. Surgical revision comprised implant removal and synovectomy. Histology revealed a foreign-body reaction with birefringent material in multinucleated giant cells. Because the capsuloligamentous system is fragile in Jaccoud's arthropathy, we recommend resection arthroplasty or arthrodesis of the first MP joint as an initial operative approach.

A 4.5-month-old quarter horse colt was presented with severe right hind metatarsophalangeal varus, present since birth. On radiographs, it was determined that there was a 16 degree deviation with the pivot point at the distal physis of the 3rd metatarsal bone. A step ostectomy in the sagittal plane corrected the deformity.

AIM: The present study investigates the clinical and radiological mid-term results of the modified Ludloff osteotomy, a proximal metatarsal osteotomy for surgical correction of severe metatarsus primus varus with hallux valgus deformity. METHOD: 70 feet in 67 patients from 25 to 78 years (average age 56 years) were included in this prospective study. The patients were evaluated with the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) forefoot metatarsophalangeal interphalangeal score, which was used preoperatively and at an average follow-up of 37 +/- 6 months. Weight-bearing foot radiographs were analysed according to AOFAS guidelines and statistical evaluation was made with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS: The average AOFAS score improved significantly (p < 0.0001) from 55.2 +/- 15.2 points preoperatively to 86.6 +/- 15.2 points at follow-up. Preoperatively, all patients complained of pain (20.2 +/- 9.6 points) which had improved significantly (p < 0.0001) at the latest follow-up (37.3 +/- 5.7 points). The average hallux valgus angle (HVA) was 37 +/- 8 degrees preoperatively and improved significantly to 12 +/- 11 degrees at follow-up (p = 0.0001). The intermetatarsal angle (IMA) improved significantly from 18 +/- 2 degrees preoperatively to 8 degrees +/- 4 degrees after 37 +/- 6 months (p = 0.0002). The sesamoid position improved significantly from preoperative to follow-up (p = 0.0003). Radiographic evaluation of the patients indicated that all examined osteotomies had healed after 37 +/- 6 months. CONCLUSION: This prospective investigation at intermediate follow-up using currently available outcome measures suggests that the Ludloff osteotomy is a suitable procedure for the surgical correction of severe metatarsus primus varus (IMA > 15 degrees ) with hallux valgus deformity.

Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is a useful technique for the surgical treatment of hallux rigidus, complicated hallux valgus and rheumatoid forefoot deformity, and for revisions following resection arthroplasty or explantation of a prosthesis combined with interposition of a tricortical bone graft. In primary operations, good or excellent results can be achieved in 80-90% of patients. The articular surface and any exostoses or osteophytes are first resected aiming for a 15-30 degrees extension of the metatarsophalangeal angle and a 5-15 degrees valgus angle. Pseudarthroses occur in 10-13% of arthrodeses stabilized with screws or k-wires. When using a plate for fixation, the rate of pseudarthroses is below 6%. Only a small number of pseudarthroses require revision surgery. Up to 15% of patients develop mostly asymptomatic degeneration of the interphalangeal joint of the hallux.

Hallux rigidus is a deformity of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Symptoms include a painful reduction of mobility and increasing stiffness in the big toe. Only when conservative therapeutic methods have failed should surgical options be considered. The surgical technique depends on the stage of the deformity. For stadium I and II, the joint should be retained, for example by cheilectomy. In this case, a correction osteotomy of the phalanx or first metatarsus can follow. For stadium III and IV, the usual procedure is arthrodesis. Complications can involve an incorrect positioning of the big toe, pseudoarthrosis and arthrosis of the interphalangeal joint. For less active patients, a resection arthroplasty is also possible.
