1st ray pathology Flashcards
What are the etiologies of HAV ( 3)
- Structural
- Positional
- Other: Iatrogenic
Positional examples that may cause HAV (2)
Hypermobile first ray
- –Metatarsus primus varus
- –Metatarsus primus elevatus
- –Normally +/- 5mm PF and DF
Frontal plane deformity
—-eversion/pronation/valgus rotation of 1st MT
Structural examples that may cause HAV (3)
- First Ray insufficiency
- –imbalance of forces between 1st and 2nd met
- Atavistic cuneiform
- —medial deviation which causes an adducted 1st met
- Met head shape
- —Rounder (greatest risk for met HAV)
OTHER examples that may cause HAV
- Iatrogenic
- –Plantar fasciotomy leading to hypermobility, FHL tendon transfer, Tibial sesamoidectomy, PL-PB tenodesis
- Pathologic
- —neuromuscular disorder, inflammatory arthropathy
Describe the 1st MTPJ joint (and its meaning)
It is a ginglymoarthroidal joint
-Ginglymo: sagittal motion responsible for first 20-30 DF
Arthroidal: transitional gliding responsible for next 30-60 DF
Stages of HAV
Described by Root, Orien, Weed
I: Lateral shift of proximal phalanx
II: Hallux abducts
III: Medial buckling of 1st MT head
IV: subluxed/dislocation 1st MPJ
What is Jacks test
same as reproduction of Windlass mechanism
What is the Transverse forefoot squeeze test
Check for reducibility of IM angle
—Reducible signifies a positional deformity not structrual
Tracking vs trackbound
Tracking: deviation of hallux only towards the end of DF and PF
Trackbound : C-shaped ROM. deviation of hallux throughout entire ROM
How to determine between structural and positional deformity of the hallux
Structural: PASA+DASA> HAA
Positional: PASA+DASA»HAA
Procedural selection based on positional vs. structural etiology
Positional deformity=distal osteotomy
Structural deformity: large IM angle will require a more proximal osteotomy
What is included in a Lateral release
Adductor tendon Lateral capsule Transverse MT ligament Lateral sesamoid ligament FHB tendon Fibular sesamoidectomy
What procedures are considered to be capsule tendon balancing
Silver bunionectomy
McBride
Modified McBride
What is included in a Silver bunionectomy
Bumpectomy, lateral release and medial capsular imbrication
What is included in a McBride
Silver+ fibular sesamoidectomy+ adductor hallucis tendon transfer
What is included in a Modified McBride
No fibular sesamoidectomy to prevent hallux varus
What procedures are exclusively done on the proximal phalanx
Akin and Keller
What is the Akin procedure and what does it correct
Closing lateral wedge resection of proximal phalanx
-Proximal Akin: corrects DASA
Distal Akin corrects HIA
What is the Keller procedure and what is it used for
Joint destructive procedure to remove 1/3 base of proximal phalanx+ lateral release
Used for IMA > 15
What are the HAV osteotomies that can be done at the head (8)
- Austin/Chevron
- Youngswick
- Reverdin
- Reverdin Green
- Reverdin Laird
Reverdin Todd
Waterman
Waterman Green
What is the Austin procedure
- How much correcter
- Pearls and Contraindications
60 degree cuts are made to allow lateral translation of capital fragment up to 50%
- 1mm lateral shift = 1 degree of IMA correction
- Pearls: limiting factors for correction are the width of the MT head. Good for bump pain
Contraindications: MTPJ pain
Youngswick What is it, what does it due and what is it used for
Chevron with removal of bone in dorsal arm
- it shortens and plantarlexes
- Used for MPE
Reverdin What is it and what does it correct
closing lateral wedge resection of MT head.
-corrects PASA
Reverdin Green. What is it, what does it correct?
Closing lateral wedge with preservation of the sesamoid apparatus
corrects PASA
Reverdin Laird: What is it and what does it correct
Reverdin Green osteotomy through lateral cortex and still preserve the sesamoids.
Corrects PASA+ IMA
Reverdin Todd: what is it and what does it correct
Reverdin laird but now through the plantar cortex. Will lose the sesamoid here
-corrects PASA+ IMA+ PLANTARFLEXION
Watermann: what is it and what does it treat
removal of dorsal wedge and the plantar cortex is kept intact
-treats hallux limitus and rigidus
Watermann Green: what is it and what does it correct
Watermann procedure with preservation of sesamoid
-will help treat hallux limitus/ rigidus
