Filter by:The main aim of this study was to find the initial effects of kinesiotaping on pain and joint alignment used in the conservative treatment of hallux valgus. 22 female patients diagnosed with hallux valgus participated in this study. Kinesiotaping was implemented after the first assessment and renewed in the 3rd, 7th and 10th days. The main outcome measures were the pain hallux adduction angle. Kinesiotaping may be an effective treatment option in decreasing pain and deformity in hallux valgus deformity who are conservatively treated. In future studies this method might be shown in larger sample groups at longer periods of treatment comparing with alternative treatment approaches like exercise or orthotics.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of tapentadol immediate-release (IR [CG5503]) for use in the relief of moderate to severe acute pain, compared with placebo, in adult Taiwanese patients with acute pain following bunionectomy.
Is there a difference in clinical outcome measures as assessed by the AOFAS, SF-36 and Visual Analogue Scale of adult patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus with increased intermetatarsal angles treated with a proximal open wedge osteotomy with LPS system versus the proximal chevron osteotomy?
The study will prospectively compare the efficacy and safety of chloride hexidine soluted in alcohol with povidine-jodine soluted in alcohol in forefoot surgery.
The purpose of the study is to show the equivalence of a new degradable metallic device to a non-degradable metallic device in patients with Hallux Valgus.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of at least 1 dose of tapentadol IR 50 mg and/or 75 mg versus placebo using the sum of pain intensity difference at 48 hours (SPID48) to measure analgesic effect in Korean patients with acute pain following bunionectomy.
The investigators propose a new therapeutic approach by injecting Botulinum Toxin Type A (BTA) to the oblique and transverse heads of adductor muscle of the great toe. BTA works by binding presynaptically to high-affinity recognition sites on the cholinergic nerve terminals and decrease the release of acetylcholine, causing a neuromuscular blocking effect. The investigators hypothesize that BTA injection may help to decrease the hallux valgus angle by decrease adductor hallucis muscle activation. Thereby enhance the therapeutic result of hallux valgus treated with total contact insole. The outcome measurement may shed light in treating patient with painful hallux valgus and document evidence for plantar pressure changes in acute, sub-acute and chronic stage.
Forefoot surgery includes bunion surgery and similar reconstructive bone cutting surgery and is very painful. Local anaesthetic nerve blocks are used to provide pain relief after this work. The purpose of this study is to compare two techniques: one using anatomical landmarks alone to guide local anaesthetic infiltration, the other using peripheral nerve stimulation to guide local anaesthetic infiltration (termed medial forefoot block). The two techniques will be compared for reliability of postoperative analgesia.
In case of deformities of the forefoot (Hallux-valgus, Hallux-varus), the basal osteotomy may be more indicated than the distal osteotomy as it allows to achieve a greater degree of correction. However, weight bearing forces on the head of the first metatarsal acting at a distance from the osteotomy site subject the construct to an important dorsiflexion stress. Fixation strength being the important consideration led to design the B-BOP® Lock plate, specifically dedicated to basal osteotomy of the first metatarsal, with the following characteristics: - plantar positioning to obtain the best stability and resistance while reducing the implant bulkiness; - anatomical shape adapted to the plantar curve of the first metatarsal. Taking advantages of the most appropriated anatomical site to implant the B-BOP® Lock plate directly on tension, it offers an innovative and unique basal osteotomy fixation solution. The B-BOP® Lock osteosynthesis plate benefits now of the Surfix locking screws technology. The purpose of this study is to collect and publish data from several centers, several users.
The great toe is vital for normal, pain free ambulation. Decreased function associated with osteoarthritis of the first matatarsal phalangeal joint (MTP I) often called Hallux Rigidis or Hallux Limitus leading to a painful great toe. Patients experience pain during ambulation especially during the push-off phase of gait. When surgery is indicated four techniques are used for hallux rigidis; cheilectomie, resection arthroplasty, arthrodesis and implant surgery (1). Endoprostetic implants are relatively new. Silicone Implants like the arthroplasty developed by Swanson (2) resulted in foreign body reactions and periarticular bone loss. Subsequent implants, in particular the metallic hemi arthroplasty with or without polyethylene articulations, have been more successful (3). Still, implants are prone to wear of the material and show higher rates of loosening and infection compared to other techniques (4;5). In the last decades several new implants are described using two non cemented pressfit components, of titanium alloy or ceramic (6-9). Between 2001 and 2004 the investigators developed a new concept with instrumentation for exact alignment to prevent for wear with loosening of the implant on the long term. The implant has bone-conserving characteristics to enable arthrodesis as a salvage procedure. It is a completely modular two-component press fit titanium alloy implant with polyethylene insert that can be used as either for hemi-, total- or revision arthroplasty. The purpose of this study is to have an overview of clinical status of the patient implanted with the METIS® prosthesis at short term (2 years of follow-up). The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Metatarso-Phalangeal prosthesis METIS® at short term follow up.
