Filter by:The aim of our study is to compare the effects of progressive exercise therapy, administered as a home program under the supervision of a physiotherapist, on adduction angle, pain, functional status, quality of life, and kinesiophobia in individuals aged 18-64 years with a hallux valgus angle of 15-40 degrees (mild-moderate).
The aim of this study is to make a precise inventory of the complications that may occur postoperatively in the more or less long term in a cohort of patients who should benefit from surgical management of Hallux Valgus.
Prospective observational study to evaluate the clinical and radiological predictors for outcome in hallux valgus (HV) corrective surgery.
By means of clinical satisfaction and clinical scores comparison of an open to a minimally invasive distal chevron osteotomy for correction of a hallux valgus deformity is performed.
The prospective, post-market, single-center clinical study will include 45 subjects who are candidates for surgery using the Arthrex QuickFix Small Staple for Akin osteotomy to correct hallux valgus interphalangeus. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the continued safety and effectiveness of the device. Device-related adverse events as well as patient reported outcomes (VAS, FFI, FAAM, VR-12) will be collected up to 1 year postoperative.
Hallux Valgus (HV) is a lateral deviation of the big toe. HV is a deformity of the forefoot centered on the 1st radius (1st metatarsal and big toe). This deformation is characterized by: - a big toe (hallux) deviated outwards (valgus greater than 12 °) - a first metatarsal moved medially (varus) (angle M1 / M2> 10 °). We also note the existence of an exostosis formed by the apex of the angle between the 1st metatarsal deviated inwards and the big toe deported outwards. This exostosis corresponds to the head of the 1st metatarsal. In addition to the pain and the unaesthetic nature induced by this deviation, the modifications of the skeletal axes of the foot cause disorders of its function but also of the joints of the lower limb during standing, walking and running. Axis defects of the lower limbs in varum or valgum also cause deformities in the rearfoot, midfoot and forefoot. There is no non-surgical curative treatment for this deformity. Different conservative treatment options have been offered for first-line treatment, including different types of physiotherapy, wearing rigid insoles or splints. Wearing rigid insoles is indicated to "counter" the valgic pressure, thereby reducing pain and high plantar pressure, in patients with HV. Their hardness, expressed in SHORE units, must be greater than 65. By countering the valgic pressure (rearfoot and midfoot), the rigid soles make it possible to contain the development of deformation and stabilize the axis of the first spoke. The speed of hallux deformation is therefore greatly reduced if the soles are worn diligently. But there is little or no impact on the correction of the deformity, but it is stabilized as it is without rapid and major worsening. Indeed, soles with a hardness greater than or equal to 65 SHORE make it possible to avoid the valgum of the hindfoot and midfoot under load and when walking. Wearing a dynamic splint was studied in a recently published prospective randomized study conducted between 2011 and 2013. This study, concluding that the dynamic splint is not effective in reducing the angle of deformation of the HV, nevertheless shows the reduction in pain during walking and running. The limits of the study lie in the pace of wearing the splint, left to the discretion of patients, during their rest period, and in the duration of the operation, which is not precisely described.
The aim of this study is to investigate the point or nonsense of treating cartilage lesions at the level of the first metatarsophalane joint. To date, no clear guidelines have been found in the literature with regard to the treatment of cartilage lesions at the MTP I joint during corrective surgery for hallux valgus, nor has it been investigated whether this can have an effect on the clinical outcome.
The objective of the registry is to evaluate the continued safety and performance of the Arthrex foot and ankle products including the ProStop implant for hyperpronated foot, Bio-Compression Screw for reconstruction surgeries of the foot, TRIM-IT Drill Pin, TRIM-IT Spin Pin for fixation of fractures and fusion (bunionectomy osteotomies) of the foot/ankle, Headless Compression Screws and Compression FT Screws for fixation of small bone fragments of the foot/ankle and DynaNite® Nitinol Staple to be used for fixation such as Lisfranc arthrodesis, mono or bi-cortical osteotomies in the forefoot, first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis, Akin osteotomy, midfoot and hindfoot arthrodeses or osteotomies, fixation of osteotomies for hallux valgus treatment (Scarf and Chevron), and arthrodesis of the metatarsocuneiform joint to reposition and stabilize metatarsus primus varus and Beveled Headed FT Screws for osteotomy fixation of Hallux valgus repair (such as Scarf and Chevron etc.)
Postoperative pain is usually treated with opioids that have undesirable and sometimes dangerous side effects (e.g., vomiting and respiratory depression)-and yet over 80% of patients still experience inadequate pain relief. A novel, non-pharmacologic analgesic technique-percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS)- holds extraordinary potential to greatly reduce or obviate opioid requirements and concurrently improve analgesia following painful surgery. This technique involves inserting an insulated electric lead adjacent to a target nerve through a needle prior to surgery using ultrasound guidance. Following surgery, a tiny electric current is delivered to the nerve resulting in potent pain control without any cognitive or adverse systemic side effects whatsoever. The electrical pulse generator (stimulator) is so small it is simply affixed to the patient's skin. The leads are already cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat acute (postoperative) pain for up to 60 days; and, since percutaneous PNS may be provided on an outpatient basis, the technique holds the promise of providing potent analgesia outlasting the pain of surgery-in other words, the possibility of a painless, opioid-free recovery following surgery. The current project is a multicenter, randomized, quadruple-masked, placebo/sham-controlled, parallel-arm pragmatic clinical trial to determine the effects of percutaneous PNS on postoperative analgesia and opioid requirements, as well as physical and emotional functioning, the development of chronic pain, and ongoing quality of life.
The primary objective is to evaluate the impact on pre-operative anxiety management of using the virtual reality mask for surgery of hallux valgus.
