Abstract
First metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthroplasty provides hallux rigidus patients with pain relief and preserved motion, offering an alternative to arthrodesis. Recent advancements in implant technology and surgical techniques have broadened treatment options. Although good outcomes have been documented in the literature, concerns persist regarding increased complications, uncertain long-term efficacy, and challenges in managing failed arthroplasties. Addressing bone loss resulting from the procedure further complicates salvage procedures. Larger cohorts and extended studies are necessary to establish efficacy of first MTPJ arthroplasty. Decisions must weigh the trade-offs between pain relief and potential complications, requiring thorough patient-surgeon discussions.

Abstract
Hallux rigidus is a common degenerative condition of the hallux metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) characterized by pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited range of motion with characteristic corresponding clinical, physical examination, and radiographic findings. Many historical risks factors including trauma and family history and patient factors including hallux valgus interphalangeus and inflammatory arthropathies have a well-substantiated etiologic role in the disease process. The purpose of this section is to review the normal and pathologic anatomy and biomechanics of the hallux MTPJ while providing an overview of the current understanding and remain debate regarding the disease process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Weightbearing cone-beam computed tomography (WBCT) has proven useful for analysis of structural changes of the foot and ankle when compared to conventional radiographs. WBCT allows for extraction of distance and coverage mapping metrics, which may provide novel insight into hallux rigidus (HR). This study retrospectively assessed HR joint space using distance and coverage mapping in a case-control study. METHODS WBCT images of the foot and ankle for 20 symptomatic HR and 20 control patients were obtained. Three-dimensional models were created and analyzed using a custom semiautomatic measurement algorithm. Distance and coverage mapping metrics for the first metatarsophalangeal and metatarsosesamoid joints were extracted from the models and compared between cohorts. Relationships between these metrics and visual analog scale (VAS) scores, a patient-reported outcome of pain, were assessed in HR patients. RESULTS Overall first metatarsophalangeal joint space narrowing was noted in HR patients when compared to controls by an average of 11.8% (P = .02). However, no significant changes in the overall coverage of the joint were noted. Decreased joint space width and increased surface-to-surface coverage were only and particularly observed at the plantar medial quadrant of the first metatarsal head in HR patients relative to controls. VAS score was significantly but weakly correlated with dorsolateral quadrant coverage (R2 = 0.26, P = .03). CONCLUSION Distance and coverage mapping serve as a complementary option to current techniques of quantifying HR changes. These metrics can expand the scope of future work investigating joint articulation changes in HR.

First ray mobility in hallux rigidus, hallux valgus, and normal feet based on weightbearing computed tomography and three-dimensional analysis: A case-control study. J Orthop Sci 2024:S0949-2658(24)00059-9. [PMID: 38670826 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2024.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hallux valgus and hallux rigidus are disorders affecting the first ray and are associated with hypermobility of this structure. This study aimed to investigate the three-dimensional mobility of each joint of the first ray between feet with hallux valgus or hallux rigidus and healthy feet using weightbearing and nonweightbearing computed tomography (CT). METHODS This case-control study analyzed 17 feet of 11 healthy volunteers (control group), 16 feet of 16 patients with hallux valgus (HV group), and 16 feet of 11 patients with hallux rigidus (HR group). First, nonweightbearing foot CT imaging was performed in the supine position on a loading device with no load applied, with the legs extended and the ankle in the neutral position. Next, a load equivalent to body weight was applied for weightbearing CT imaging. Distal bone displacement relative to the proximal bone was quantified three-dimensionally under both conditions. RESULTS In the HV group, the talonavicular joint showed significantly greater eversion (P = 00.011) compared with the control group and significantly greater dorsiflexion (P = 00.027) and eversion (P < 00.01) compared with the HR group. In the medial cuneiform joint, the HV group showed significantly greater eversion (P < 00.01) and abduction (P = 00.011) than the control group. For the first tarsometatarsal joint, the HV group showed significantly greater dorsiflexion (P = 00.014), inversion (P = 00.028), and adduction (P < 00.01) than the control group, and greater inversion (P < 00.01) and adduction (P < 00.01) than the HR group. Dorsiflexion of the first tarsometatarsal joint was significantly greater in the HR group compared with the control group (P = 00.026). CONCLUSION Hypermobility of the first ray appears to be three-dimensional: in hallux valgus, it is centered at the first tarsometatarsal joint, while in hallux rigidus it is mainly in the sagittal plane at the first tarsometatarsal joint only. This difference may explain the different deformities ultimately observed in each condition.

Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous serum containing higher concentrations of platelets and growth factors above normal blood. The process of obtaining PRP involves the extraction of blood from the patient which is then centrifuged to obtain a concentrated suspension of platelets. PRP continues to evolve as a potential treatment modality with many applications in orthopaedic surgery. The therapeutic components of PRP possess numerous theoretical regenerative properties. The present manuscript outlines how PRP is prepared, noting the tremendous variability between preparation protocols. Given the growing body of evidence examining the use of PRP in pathologies of the foot and ankle, we assess its efficacy as it relates to our field. Specifically, we evaluate the literature in the past five years regarding the role of PRP in treating plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, insertional Achilles tendinitis, Achilles tendon ruptures, osteochondral lesions of the talus, hallux rigidus, and ankle osteoarthritis.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The first metatarsal-phalangeal joint plays a key role for athletes of various disciplines. When an athlete presents for evaluation of pain at this joint, there are several causes that should be considered. The purpose of this article is to review common injuries including turf toe, sand toe, extensor and flexor hallucis longus tendinopathy, sesamoiditis, and metatarsalgia and provide current evidence-based recommendations for diagnosis, management, and return to play considerations. Conditions not specific to athletes like gout and hallux rigidus also are discussed. Mechanism of injury, physical examination, and imaging such as weight-bearing radiographs and point-of-care ultrasound can help with diagnosis. Treatment of many of these injuries begins with nonsurgical management strategies including footwear or activity modification, physical therapy, and select interventions.

Abstract
The etiology of hallux rigidus remains a controversial issue in foot and ankle surgery, i.e., the relationship between metatarsus primus elevatus (MPE) and hallux rigidus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate several radiographic parameters including first metatarsal elevation in patients with hallux rigidus compared to a matched control group. A retrospective case control study was performed including 50 feet, 25 feet with and 25 feet without hallux rigidus. In the patients with hallux rigidus, the first metatarsal was more elevated than in the control group (8.3 ± 1.7 mm vs 3.0 ± 2.0 mm, p < .001) and in 60% of patients with hallux rigidus MPE was diagnosed, compared to zero patients in the control group (p < .001). The lateral 1 to 2 intermetatarsal angle was higher in patients with hallux rigidus (3.6 ± 2.5 vs -0.7 ± 2.8; p < .001). The first metatarsal declination angle was not different between the 2 groups. Intraclass correlation coefficient between 2 observers for measuring the first metatarsal elevation was 0.929 (p < .001). In the current study, increased elevation of the first metatarsal, a higher incidence of MPE and increased lateral 1 to 2 intermetatarsal angle were found in patients with hallux rigidus compared to the control group. These findings support the theory of an association between MPE and hallux rigidus. Further high reliability of first metatarsal elevation measurement was found in our study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hallux rigidus is the second most frequent pathology of the first ray. Surgical options for degenerative metatarsophalangeal joint disease are either joint destructive or conservative procedures. The hypothesis was that oblique distal shortening osteotomy of the first metatarsal is an effective conservative technique for the management of stage 1 to 3 hallux rigidus. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 87 feet with Coughlin and Shurnas's stage 1-3 hallux rigidus, operated between 2009 and 2019. The cohort consisted in 72 patients (87 feet) with an average age of 57±9 (30/79) years; 22 of 87 (25.3%) feet had the first metatarsal surgery performed in isolation; 65 of 87 (74.7%) had concomitant forefoot procedures, including 31 of 87 (35.6%) with Akin phalangeal osteotomies and 34 of 87 (39.1%) with Moberg phalangeal osteotomies.We evaluated the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Scale, subjective satisfaction, joint amplitudes, shortening rate, and occurrence of postoperative complications with a mean follow-up of 51 months (16/134). RESULTS The AOFAS score increased from 54.2±11.3 (25/70) preoperatively to 92.2±7.8 (62/100) postoperatively (P < .001). Patients reported excellent or good outcome in 95.4% of cases. The 40-point self-reported pain subscale score improved from 19.6 (± 10.0) to 37.4 (± 5.4), P < .001.The overall range of motion increased from 61±21 (20/110) degrees to 69±17 (35/120) degrees (P < .001). The mean first metatarsal shortening rate (SRpo) was 9.6%. Neither the Coughlin grade, the metatarsal index, or the SRpo influenced the AOFAS score. At 6-month follow-up, 15 patients had transfer metatarsalgia compared with 5 at last follow-up without requiring another surgical procedure. The risk was not significantly different according to Coughlin's stage, preoperative metatarsal index, or SRpo. CONCLUSION Oblique distal osteotomy of the first metatarsal for stage 1-3 hallux rigidus, often in combination with other first ray procedures, performed well during our follow-up time period, with a high subjective satisfaction rate and few complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treatment of hallux valgus deformity associated with mild or moderate osteoarthritis (OA) is still a topic of debate. In the literature, there are few studies concerning the management of patients affected by this condition. This study aims to report the experience at mid- to long-term results of an original joint-preserving surgical technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients affected by mild to moderate hallux valgus deformity and associated to grade 1-2 OA and treated with modified Simple-Effective-Rapid-Inexpensive (SERI) technique from 2008 to 2018 were selected. Inclusion criteria were mild or moderate hallux valgus angle (HVA) <40° and an intermetatarsal angle (IMA) <20° and associated grade 1-2 OA of the first metatarso-phalangeal joint (MTPJ). RESULTS 128 feet in 120 consecutive patients, undergone modified SERI procedure, have been retrospectively reviewed at a mean follow-up of 5.1 ± 3.8 years (range 2-11). American Orthopaedics Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) score that was significantly improved from 44.2 ± 13.2 to 88.2 ± 9.6. Pre-operative average HVA and IMA values decreased respectively from 31.6° ± 3.9° to 9.1° ± 4.4° and from 16.2° ± 3.8° to 7.2° ± 3.1°. The average distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) value improved from 28.2° ± 6.5° to 7.1° ± 6°. OA of the first MTPJ highlighted a grade 1 in 46 feet and a grade 2 in 82 feet pre-operatively and a grade 0 in 30 feet, grade 1 in 82 feet, and grade 2 in 16 feet at the final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The modifications to the SERI technique could extend the indications to patients affected by hallux valgus with mild to moderate OA. The wider case series and the longer follow-up of this study make us believe this technique is very useful for improving the quality of life in these patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hallux rigidus is a common problem of pain and stiffness of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) caused mainly by degenerative osteoarthritis. Several operative techniques have been introduced for the treatment of this condition without high-quality evidence comparing surgical to non-surgical care. In this trial, the most common surgical procedure, arthrodesis, will be compared with watchful waiting in the management of hallux rigidus. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Ninety patients (40 years or older) with symptomatic first MTPJ osteoarthritis will be randomised to arthrodesis or watchful waiting in a ratio of 1:1. The primary outcome will be pain during walking, assessed using the 0-10 Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at 1 year after randomisation. The secondary outcomes will be pain at rest (NRS), physical function (Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire), patient satisfaction in terms of the patient-acceptable symptom state, health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L), activity level (The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure Sports subscale), use of analgesics or orthoses and the rate of complications. Our null hypothesis is that there will be no difference equal to or greater than the minimal important difference of the primary outcome measure between arthrodesis and watchful waiting. Our primary analysis follows an intention-to-treat principle. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Helsinki and Uusimaa Hospital District, Finland. Written informed consent will be obtained from all the participants. We will disseminate the findings of this study through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. PROTOCOL VERSION 21 June 2021 V.2.0. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04590313.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Hallux rigidus (HR) may cause decreased range of motion, joint pain, and gait disturbances. There is a lack of evidence regarding the outcome of different surgical procedures for moderate HR. We report patient-reported outcomes after joint-preserving surgical procedures for moderate HR.Patients and methods - We included 296 patients registered in Swefoot (Swedish national registry of foot and ankle surgery) who underwent primary surgery for moderate HR 2014 through 2018. We extracted information on anthropometrics, grading of HR, chosen surgical procedure, and patient-reported data including the PROMs SEFAS (summary score 0-48) and EQ-5D-3L (index 0-1) preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively.Results - 115 patients underwent metatarsal decompression (i.e., Youngswick) osteotomy (YOT) and 181 underwent cheilectomy. The mean improvement in SEFAS score 1 year after surgery was 12 points (95% CI 10 - 13) for YOT and 10 points (CI 9 - 12) for cheilectomy. Also, EQ-5D improved in both groups. Patients who underwent YOT were more satisfied with the procedure (84% vs. 70% for cheilectomy, p = 0.02).Interpretation - Surgically treated patients with moderate HR improved after both YOT and cheilectomy, according to patient-reported data from Swefoot. Patients who underwent a YOT were more satisfied with their procedure. One possible explanation may be that more patients in the YOT group had a concomitant hallux valgus; however, we have no information on this.

The efficacy of shoe modifications and foot orthoses in treating patients with hallux rigidus: a comprehensive review of literature. ACTA BIO-MEDICA : ATENEI PARMENSIS 2020; 91:e2020016.

Abstract
Hallux rigidus (HR) is a degenerative disease of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP1) joint and affects about 2.5% of people older than 50 years. The real etiology of this condition remains under debate. Clinical symptoms, physical exam, and instrumental evidence are important in assessing and grading the disease. The anatomy of the first metatarsal is unique and its configuration may play a significant role in the HR development. The first approach in the early stages of the disease usually begins with shoe modifications and foot orthoses, designed to limit irritation from the dorsal osteophytes, reducing motion and the mechanical stresses on the joint. To prevent or delay the development of HR, shoes should be sufficiently long, comfortable, with high toe box and broad toe-boxed, and should bear an allowed space for the orthotic device. The ideal orthotic appears to require a 3-mm thickness with a correct stiffness, and also increasing and extending the medial metatarsal arch just proximal to the metatarsal head, raising the first metatarsal and allowing the proximal phalanx to rest in a more plantarflexed position, decompressing the dorsal aspect of the joint. The increased foot pronation moment with medial column overload, when present, should be corrected. In addition, the maximum follow-up found by the analyzed studies was of 14.4 years, so the Authors cannot conclude how long conservative care can keep a patient free from pain and able to perform normal daily activities. However, the use of shoe modifications and foot orthoses may be considered a safe treatment and then should be always offered to patients, before any surgical management. (www.actabiomedica.it)

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The fibrocartilagenous plantar plates of the forefoot are biomechanically important, forming the primary distal attachment for the plantar aponeurosis. They are integral to the function of the windlass mechanism in supporting the arches of the foot in gait. Dissection of the cadaveric hallux revealed an organised sagittal thickening of the dorsal side of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) sheath, which attached the interphalangeal plantar plate to the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) plantar plate. A description of a similar structure was made in 1984 when it was termed the flexor hallucis capsularis interphalangeus (FHCI) - however, it has not been researched since, and we aim to study it further and identify its characteristics. METHOD Eight specimens were dissected from four cadavers. Two were stained and examined under magnification in both polarized and non polarized light. The remaining 6 were subjected to micrometer testing of their tensile properties. RESULTS Both the histological features and mechanical properties were consistent with tendon; with cross sectional area, ultimate tensile strength and stiffness varying between specimens. CONCLUSIONS Based on its location and properties, the FHCI tendon may be involved in limiting dorsiflexion of the first MTP joint and could have clinical relevance in pathological processes around both the first and second MTP joints.

Abstract
Background: While metatarsus primus elevatus (MPE) has been implicated in the development of hallux rigidus, previous studies have presented conflicting findings regarding the relationship between MPE and arthritis. This may be due to the variety of definitions for MPE and the radiographic measurement techniques that are used to assess it. Additionally, previous studies have only assessed elevation of the first metatarsal with respect to the floor or the second metatarsal, and not with respect to the proximal phalanx. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability of new radiographic measurements that consider the elevation of the first metatarsal in relation to the proximal phalanx, rather than in relation to the second metatarsal as previously described, to assess for MPE. In addition, we aimed to determine whether the elevation of the first metatarsal was significantly different in patients with hallux rigidus than in a control population. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted from prospectively collected registry data at the investigators’ institution to identify patients with hallux rigidus (n = 65). A size-matched control cohort of patients without evidence for first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint arthritis was identified (n = 65). Patients with a previous history of foot surgery, rheumatoid arthritis, or hallux valgus were excluded. Five blinded raters of varying levels of training, including 2 research assistants, 1 senior orthopedic resident, 1 foot and ankle fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon, and 1 attending musculoskeletal fellowship-trained radiologist, evaluated 7 radiographic measurements for their reliability in assessing for MPE in hallux rigidus and control groups. Four of the 7 were newly designed measurements that include the relationship of the first MTP joint. Inter- and intrarater reliability were calculated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and categorized by Landis and Koch reliability thresholds. The measurements between the hallux rigidus and control populations were compared using an independent t test. Results: Six of the 7 radiographic measurements were found to have substantial to almost perfect interrater reliability (ICC, 0.800-0.953) between all levels of training, except for the proximal phalanx–first metatarsal angle, which showed moderate reliability (ICC, 0.527). Substantial to almost perfect intrarater reliability (ICC, 0.710-0.982) was demonstrated by the measurements performed by research assistants. All 7 of the measurements taken by the musculoskeletal fellowship-trained radiologist demonstrated significant differences in first metatarsal elevation between the hallux rigidus and control populations, with the hallux rigidus group showing increased elevation (P < .001-.019). Conclusion: This study confirmed the reliability of 7 radiographic measurements used to assess for MPE, including 3 previously established and 4 newly described measurements. Observers across all levels of training were able to demonstrate reliable measurements. In addition, the measurements were used to show that patients with hallux rigidus were more likely to have MPE compared with patients without radiographic evidence for first MTP arthritis. These measurements could be used in future work to examine how the presence of MPE relates to the etiology and progression of hallux rigidus, and how it affects the results of operative treatment. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
Hallux rigidus, Latin for Stiff Toe, is characterized by an osteoarthritic degeneration of the articular surfaces of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The aim of this literature narrative overview is to summarize and expose the great amount of management concepts and information, including the well-codified operative procedures and the more up to date knowledge about non-operative and surgical treatment of hallux rigidus. This may provide current information for physicians, medschool attendants and researchers. A comprehensive literature search using PubMed database has been performed, up to April 1, 2017. Several different types of treatment are described in the literature for low-grade hallux rigidus. The management for hallux rigidus can involve a variety of therapeutic interventions, conservative or operative. Hallux rigidus is a complex disease characterized by several clinical and pathological findings, and to achieve optimal results, surgical treatment for low-grade forms should be chosen between several surgical techniques depending on the degree of arthritis and other different clinical conditions.

Quantitative relationship of first metatarsophalangeal head morphology to hallux rigidus and hallux valgus. Foot Ankle Surg 2018; 24:435-439. [PMID: 29409201 DOI: 10.1016/j.fas.2017.04.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2017] [Revised: 04/28/2017] [Accepted: 04/30/2017] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous qualitative studies have linked first metatarsal head morphology with hallux valgus (HV) and hallux rigidus (HR). This study used a quantitative measurement of 1st MT radius of curvature to assess if HR MT heads were flatter than HV heads. METHODS Weight bearing foot films were used in HV, HR, and normal patients (no forefoot complaints) to measure the metatarsal head radius of curvature (normalized by dividing the radius of curvature by the first metatarsal length to adjust for magnification and foot size). RESULTS Radiographs from 299 feet were analyzed (105 normal, 57 HR, and 137 HV). The mean normalized radius of curvature was smaller in HV than HR, with normal feet in between (p<.05 for all comparisons). Metatarsal head curvature did not vary with age, weight, or BMI. CONCLUSION These quantitative measurements are consistent with qualitative observations, validating the use of subjective metatarsal head morphology assessments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hallux limitus (HL) is the second-most common pathology associated with the first metatarsophalangeal joint. A common etiology believed to be associated with HL is metatarsus primus elevatus (MPE), although causation has been unsubstantiated by evidence. Historically, correction of MPE is surgically addressed with an osteotomy. However, some believe MPE is a secondary manifestation of HL due to retrograde pressure and lack of dorsiflexion at the first metatarsophalangeal joint. This study sought to determine whether MPE resolves spontaneously after first metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty and reinstitution of normal joint dorsiflexion. METHODS Twenty-seven weightbearing lateral radiographs from patients with HL were reviewed before and after nonimplant first metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty. Radiographs were taken preoperatively and at postoperative visits 1 (mean, 2 weeks) and 2 (mean, 10 weeks). Measurements included first to second metatarsal elevation, Seiberg Index, first to fifth metatarsal distance, sagittal plane first to second metatarsal angle, Meary's angle, metatarsal declination angle, and hallux equinus angle. RESULTS Statistically significant improvement was seen at both postoperative visits in all of the previously mentioned measurements except first to fifth metatarsal distance, which was reduced but was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Metatarsus primus elevatus was reduced significantly after first metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty. Resolution occurred rapidly and was maintained at the final postoperative visit. This could be due to MPE being a manifestation of HL and not a cause. Based on the results of this study, osteotomies may be unnecessary to surgically address MPE because it can spontaneously correct after reinstitution of first metatarsophalangeal joint motion.

Abstract
Background Although arthroscopic surgical treatment of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint involves painful sesamoid excision, synovectomy, debridement, and partial cheilectomy, no gold standard treatment technique has been defined in the literature for hallux rigidus and focal osteochondral lesions. This study aimed to assess the arthroscopic treatment for early-grade focal osteochondral lesions of the first MTP joint and to determine the impact of arthroscopic microhole drill surgery on foot function and activities of daily living in a group of patients who failed conservative treatment. Methods This prospective study included 14 patients with hallux rigidus and focal osteochondral lesions of the first MTP joint who underwent surgery in 2014 and were followed on a regular basis thereafter. Results The patients had mean preoperative VPS (visual pain scale) and AOFAS (American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society)-Hallux scores of 8.14 ± 0.86 SD and 48.64 ± 4.27, respectively; the corresponding postoperative values of both scores were 1.86 ± 0.66 SD and 87.00 ± 3.70, respectively. Both VPS and AOFAS-Hallux scores changed significantly. Discussion In this prospective study, we explored the impact of arthroscopic microhole drill surgery on foot function and activities of daily living in patients with focal osteochondral lesions of the first MTP joint. Our results showed significant improvements in VPS and AOFAS scores with this treatment. Conclusions An arthroscopic microhole drill technique can be used with impressive functional scores and without any complications in patients who failed conservative therapy for hallux rigidus with focal chondral injury.
