Hallux Valgus (Surgery Unit) Flashcards
Radiographic measurments:
1st metatarsal protrusion distance
Normal value A
What is it? Relative B
A: +/- 2 mm
B: Difference in radii of longitudinal bisections of 1st and 2nd metatarsals
Radiographic measurment
Metatarsus Primus Adductus Angle
normal A
B is associated with HV development in rectus feet
C in metatarsus adductus feet
A: 8 degrees
B: 12 degrees
C: > 8 degrees
Hallux abductus angle
HAA normal A
A: 10-20 degrees
Tibial sesamoid position
Normal : A
Relative position of B in relation to the C of 1st metatarsal
A: 4
B: medial sesamoid
C: bisection
1st metatrsophalangeal position
How does
Normal Deviated Subluxed
look like?
Surgical management for hallux valgus depends on ?
- Degree of A
- B of deformity
- C
- D mechanics
- Other factors
- A: deformity
- B: Nature
- C: Physiological age
- D: Foot
- General health, Co-morbidity, Home support
What are the different classifications for hallux valgus surgery?
- A
- B
- C
- D
- E
A: Bupectomy : medial bump, head of 1st head
B: Arthroplasty/ joint implant
C: Osteotomy of hallux
D: first metatarsal osteotomies : distal and proximal
E: Fusion procedures: 1st mtpj and 1st met-cuniform
“Bumpectomy”
Silver
Removal of A
Reinforcment of B
A: Medial exostosis
B: Medial capsule
‘Bumpectomy’
Silver bunionectomy
What are the indications for silver bunionectomy?
- A
- B
- C
- D
- E
Bump pain
- Bupm pain
- No sesamoid or joint pain
- Good ROM
- No pain or crepitus with ROM examination
- Elderly patients (Osteoprosis)
“Bumpectomy”
Silver bunionectomy
Advantages Disadvantages
- A post-op recovery 1. Weakens E
- B post-op oedema 2. poor F
- C procedure 3. Fails to correct G
- May be performed in pt with D
- A: Rapid 1. E: medial aspect of 1st mpj
- B: Minimal 2. F: long term prognosis
- C: Simple 3. Structural aetiology
- D: Osteoprosis
Bumpectomy
Mcbride Nubionectomy
A ostectomy
B sesamoidectomy
+/- Transfer of C tendon dorsally to D
A 1st metatarsal
B Lateral
C adductor hallucis D medial capsule
Bumpectomy-McBride bunionectomy
What are the indications for this procedure?
- No A
- Pain associated with the B
- Adequate C
- Mild D
- E medial eminence
- Deviated to F
- H
- A : pain or creptus with ROM 1st mpj
- B: lateral sesamoid
- C: ROM 1st mpj
- D: Mild axial rotation hallux
- E: Hypertrophy
- F: Subluxed 1st mpj
- H: TSP>4
- Elderly patients (osteoprosis)
Bumpectomy
McBride bunionectomy
What are the advantages?
- Relatively A
- More B than Silver
- May be performed with patients with C
A: Simple
B: Corrective
C: Osteoprosis
Bumpectomy
Mcbride bunionectomy
What are the disadvatnages of this procedure?
- Fails to correct A
- High incidence of either B
- A: structural aetiology
- B: Hallux valgus
For both Silver and Mcbride buionectomies what are the Post-op course of action?
- Patient wears post-op shoe for A
- Return to B ASAP
- Wise to use C for 1-2/12 to assist maintaning correction of D
- Minimal E compared to other bunionectomies
- A: 2-3 weeks
- B: normal activities
- C: IDW D: HAA
- E: morbidity
Arthroplasty/ Joint implant
Keller bunionectomy
Gap arthoplasty 1st MPJ
A removed which is paralled to the shaft
B fixation 2-4/52
Suture C to plantar aspect proximal phalanx
Best reserved for D patients or E
A: 1/3rd- 1/2 base proximal phalanx
B: 1.6 mm K-wire
C: FHL
D: geriatric patients
E: endstage hallux limitus
