ABSTRACT
Recognition of metatarsophalangeal joint plantar plate injuries has improved over time as the condition has become more widely understood and identified. With the diagnosis of a plantar plate injury as a subset of metatarsalgia becoming more common place, there are multiple surgical options that have been utilized to address the condition. Direct repair of the plantar plate has emerged as the treatment of choice for foot surgeons with a tendency to favor a direct dorsal approach for the repair. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guidelines, to determine the magnitude of change that can be expected in visual analog scale pain and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society scores postoperatively. A total of 12 studies involving 537 plantar plate tears were included who underwent direct repair of the plantar plate through either a dorsal (10 articles) or plantar approach (2 articles). Summary estimates were calculated which revealed improvement in visual analog scale pain (pooled mean change of -5.01 [95%CI -5.36, -4.66] pre-to postoperative) and improvement in American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society scores (pooled postoperative mean improvement 40.44 [95%CI 37.90, 42.97]) of patients within the included studies. Random effects models were used for summary estimates. I2 statistic was used to assess for heterogeneity. We concluded there is a predictable level of improvement in pain and function in patients undergoing a direct dorsal approach plantar plate repair with follow-up out to 2 years.
