Influence of First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Degenerative Changes on Functional Outcomes Following Hallux Valgus Correction

Video Summary

The video presented a study on the influence of degenerative changes in the first metatarsal phalangeal joint on the functional outcome of corrective surgery for Hallux Valgus. The study found that 87% of patients had some degree of arthritic changes in the sesamoid metatarsal articulation, which was more than expected. Factors such as more severe deformities and advanced age correlated with more severe arthritis. However, the presence of intraoperative degenerative changes did not result in worse outcomes or pain following surgery. Patients with more arthritic changes at the metatarsal head area experienced greater improvement in pain scores after surgery. The study will continue to evaluate long-term outcomes.
