Q

positioning of 1st MPJ arthrodesis

A

15 degrees dorsiflexion

first met cuneiform arthrodesis aka

A

lapidus

17
Q

indications for lapidus

A
  • Juvenile HAV with hypermobility
  • Osteoarthritis and Degenerative arthritis
  • Charcot osteoarthropathy
  • Severe adult HAV with IM angle exceeding 15 degrees
  • Medial column instability
  • Ligamentous laxity
18
Q

procedure for lapidus

A
  • žSkin Incision
    • Dorsal incision extending to the medial cuneiform
  • žArticular cartilage resection
    • Curettage or saw resection to bleeding subchondral bone
    • Transverse and Sagittal plane correction
  • žFixation
    • 3.5 or 4.0 partially threaded cancellous screws
    • Plate and/or Pins
19
Q

post op care lapidus

A

NWB short leg cast 6-8 wks, then partial WB for 2-4wks

PT at 3 mo

20
Q

(+) and (-) 1st met cuneiform arthrodesis

A
  • žDisadvantages
    • Extensive sx exposure required
    • May shorten 1st ray
    • Can be technically demanding
    • Prolonged postop period
  • žAdvantages
    • Eliminates 1st met cuneiform hypermobility
    • Stabilizes the medial column
    • Allows for large amount of correction
21
Q

indications for lisfranc’s jt arthrodesis

A
  • post-traumatic arthritis
  • DJD
  • charcot osteoarthropathy
  • pes cavus
  • metatarsus adductus
22
Q
A

lisfranc’s arthrodesis

23
Q

3 distinct components to tarsometatarsal region (lisfranc’s arthrodesis)

A
  • Medial
    • –1st met cuneiform joint
  • Middle
    • –2nd and 3rd met cuneiform joint
  • Lateral
    • –4th and 5th met cuboid joints
  • žAny one of the 3 components may be fused in isolation for focused arthritis
  • If fusing all, fuse the 1st first
24
Q
A

žDowel Graft Arthrodesis (Inlay Graft)

  • Iliac crest bone graft
  • In situ fusion
  • No correction
  • Crossed k-wire fixation
25
Q

what fixation would you most likely use for lisfranc’s jt arthrodesis

A

staples

  • temporarily fixate 1st and 5th mets first to evaluate parabola and foot alignment
26
Q

post op lisfranc’s jt arthrodesis

A

NWB 6-8 wks

may want splint due to edema, then cast

WB in boot for 2-4 wks
