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.
randomized-controlled trial looking specifically at the effect of weight bearing on the outcomes of first MTP joint fusions
Hallux rigidus and hallux valgus are chronic forefoot conditions associated with pain, inflammation and functional impairment. Topical cannabidiol (CBD) cream has been shown to decrease inflammation, swelling, and pain response in arthritis models with minimal side effects, although the intervention has never been studied in hallux valgus or hallux rigidus. The purpose of this study is to determine if topical CBD cream is an effective treatment for pain secondary to hallux rigidus and hallux valgus.
After potential subjects determine that they would like surgical treatment of their great toe arthritis, study staff will approach them about the study. If subject decides to participate, they will be asked to fill out an informed consent. After the informed consent has been signed, study staff will collect subject demographics and medical/surgical history. The subject will be randomized into one of two surgical treatment options: cheilectomy or Cartiva hemiarthroplasty. The randomization ratio will be 1:1 and to ensure this randomization ratio, each randomization block will have 4-6 patients. After the surgery, the subject will have follow up visits at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years post surgery. At these follow up visits, subjects will have a physical exam conducted, have their medical imaging reviewed, and fill out a data collection form which will include questionnaires and adverse event forms (when applicable). All of the above will apply to the 2 week visit, except for the administration of questionnaires/surveys. Additionally, subjects will have incision check, suture removal, and a physical completed during this visit.All study procedures for this study are considered standard of care. Patients would have these completed regardless of participation in the study.
This study will have implications for any healthcare professionals who routinely manage ingrown toenails. Although different conservative and surgical treatment have been suggested, the recurrent rate is still high ranging from 20% to 30%. The objective of this study was to investigate the association of ingrown toenail (IGTN) with flat foot, hallux abducto valgus (HAV) and hallux limitus (HL), and to provide directions for addressing biomechanical risk factors in the prevention of recurrent ingrown toenails. This was the first study to investigate the association of IGTN with flat foot, and the first study in Chinese community to investigate the association of IGTN with HAV or HL. Participants with ingrown toenails (IGTN) were recruited to this study and compared with control participants with no history of ingrown toenails. The inclusion criteria for the IGTN group were: (1) history of ingrown toenails on hallux within 1 year and (2) dorso-plantar standing view of foot x-ray taken or to be taken. The exclusion criteria for the IGTN group were: (1) paediatrics (Age<18), (2) pincer nails / fungal nails, (3) prior existence of osteoarticular surgery in the foot, (4) severe trauma that changes foot morphology, (5) uncontrolled systemic disease, (6) pre-existing neurological diseases and (7) lower limb paralysis or paresis. The inclusion criterion for the control group was dorso-plantar standing view of foot x-ray taken or to be taken. The exclusion criteria for the control group were: (1) all the exclusion criteria of IGTN group, (2) history of IGTN in his or her lifetime and (3) flatfoot / first metatarsophalangeal joint pathology as the chief complaint. The symptomatic foot (or the more symptomatic foot in the case of bilateral involvement) in the IGTN group was examined. The left or right foot of the control group was randomly selected such that the ratio of the left or the right foot in the IGTN and control group was the same. Their foot posture index-6 components, Staheli's index, radiological hallux valgus angle and active maximum dorsiflexion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint on weight-bearing were measured and compared. For dependent variables with significant correlation, a one-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was carried out to determine if there was a significant difference on the combined dependent variables. For dependent variables without significant correlation, separate independent sample t-tests / welch t-tests were performed.
The hallux rigidus is the most frequent type of arthrosis at the age of 50 and beyond. For the moderate forms of the disease, the majority of the studies recommend the recourse to the viscosupplement because of its efficiency in the long term. On the other hand, no study was focused on the impact of the anatomical severity on the clinical result of the treatment by intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid. The present research has for objective to study the influence of the radiological severity on the result of the viscosupplement, in the conditions of daily practice, in patients affected by Hallux rigidus. It is an open observational multicentrical prospective study realized by 20 investigators rheumatologists and liberal orthopedic surgeons. The recruitment is competitive and the study will be ended when 66 patients will have been included by taking into account a risk of trial exits or of lost of sight of 10 %.The main criterion is the influence of the radiological stage on the answer to the treatment. Duration of inclusion 6 months. Duration of follow-up 3 months. Total duration of the study 9 months.
Patients listed for hallux valgus/hallux rigidus correction surgery will be randomised to one of two treatment groups. Group 1 (standard care) will have the calf tourniquet released after wound closure. Group 2 will have the tourniquet removed five minutes before wound closure. Participants will have the volume of their operated foot measured pre-operatively and post-operatively at six weeks and three months.
The investigators sought to determine whether bioabsorbable cannulated screws could perform as well as titanium cannulated screws in the Lapidus procedure and MTP1-joint arthorodesis in anatomical models and clinical series of the foot.
The purpose of this study is to examine variabel pressure gradients of the 1st toe, 2-5th toes and the metatarsal distal caput in patients who have had surgery with a partial proximal hemiarthroplasty in the 1st metatarsalphalangeal joint (MTP) between 2006-2014. Also, to examine these variables and compare them to the totalt range of motion and pain, to find out if the measured pedobar pressure can be used identify the well treated patient and the poorly treated patient. The pedobar pressure gradients will be compared with a control group with healthy feet.
