Filter by:case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Foot Spine Syndrome or "RAFFET Syndrome". This syndrome was reported in 11 patients (6 males and 5 females) out of 4000 patients with a history of chronic low back pain (CLBP) throughout 2 to 6 years in an outpatient clinic in Egypt from 2016 to 2022.
We will screen all first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodeses performed between 2010 and 2022 in Helsinki University Hospital. Information about demographics and additional diagnoses will be yielded from data pool of medical records. Additionally we review pre- and post-operative x-rays for first MTP joint angles and OR records for operative techniques. Our aim is to find associations between those known variables and risk for reoperation in two years after operation.
A randomised, controlled trial will be performed by allocating 40 years or older patients with symptomatic hallux rigidus to arthrodesis or watchful waiting group in a ratio of 1:1. Our primary outcome will be pain during walking, assessed by the 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at one year after randomisation. Our secondary outcomes will be pain in rest (NRS), physical function (MOXFQ), patient satisfaction in terms of Patient-accepted Symptom State (PASS), health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L), activity level (The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure Sports subscale), use of analgesics or orthoses and rate of complications. Our null hypothesis is that there will be no difference between arthrodesis and watchful waiting in treatment of hallux rigidus. Our primary analysis will be done using intention-to-treat principle.
