Minimally Invasive Dorsal Cheilectomy and Hallux Metatarsal Phalangeal Joint Arthroscopy for the Treatment of Hallux Rigidus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hallux rigidus (HR) is a common source of forefoot pain and disability. For those who fail nonoperative treatment, minimally invasive dorsal cheilectomy (MIDC) is an increasingly popular alternative to the open approach with early positive results. Early failures may be due to lose bone debris from the MIDC as well as other intra-articular pathology that cannot be addressed with MIDC alone. Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) arthroscopy can be used in addition to MIDC to assess the joint after MIDC and address any intra-articular pathology while still maintaining the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. We report our clinical outcomes following MIDC combined with MTP arthroscopy.

Methods

From November 2017 to July 2020, a retrospective analysis of all MIDC cheilectomies
