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
