Bunion Procedures Flashcards

Q
Pathogenesis of bunion
stage 1 → 
stage 2→ 
stage 3→ 
stage 4→
A

STAGE 1 → lateral subluxation of hallux
–unstable 1st ray→ unstable hallux→ strain trans. pedis

STAGE 2→ hallux abductus pressure against lesser toes

  • -unstable sesamoid, transverse pedis, FF adductus
  • -EHL & flexors → bow string
  • 1st MTPJ axis change

STAGE 3→ ↑ IM angle

  • -retroactive force to 1st met from hallux against 2nd digit
  • -cuneiform split
  • -*eversion throughout propulsive phase
  • -*worsening primus elevatus → ↓ hallux DF at 1st MTPJ

STAGE 4→ hallux and/or 2nd MTPJ dislocation

Factors influencing rate of HAV development

A

  • extent of calcaneal eversion
  • extent of STJ & MTJ subluxation
  • declination of STJ axis → ↑ frontal plane motion
  • angle & base of gait
  • length of stride
  • ↓ propulsive phase → ↓ development
  • -need propulsive gait to develop HAV
  • severity of inflammation
  • obesity
  • hard flat terrain → ↑ GFR
  • shoe gear
43
Q

Predisposing factors for HAV

A
  • genetics
  • arthritis (RA)
  • trauma
  • neuromuscular conditions (CMT)
  • shoe gear
  • BIOMECHANICAL → excess pronation in midstance of gait
  • -hypermobile 1st ray & fixed soft tissue due to shoes
  • -FF valgus compensation → exacerbates HAV
  • -FF varus → less force on HAV development
44
Q

Iatrogenic causes of Hallux Varus

A
  • excision of Fibular sesamoid
  • Over-correcting → IM angle or PASA
  • Overzealous:
  • resection of medial eminence
  • -stalking the head → disrupts sagittal groove
  • lateral release
  • medial capsulorrhaphy/plication
  • tendon transfer
  • post-op dressings ↑ → ↓
