ABSTRACT
CASE Evidence-based surgical strategies to reconstruct the collateral ligament complex of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint are not available. We report a case of first MTP lateral collateral ligament insufficiency in a young, female gymnast with varus laxity and subsequent satisfactory mid-term and long-term outcomes. CONCLUSION:
This case report describes an efficient suture anchor technique for restoring stability of the first MTP joint because of chronic varus laxity with acceptable results both clinically and with patient-reported outcome scores at mid-term and long-term follow-ups. We suggest that our strategy is a viable option for addressing chronic varus laxity of the first MTP joint. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, case report.
