Evaluation of Metatarsal Head Resurfacing Hemiarthroplasty in the Surgical Treatment of Hallux Rigidus : A Retrospective Study and Mid- to Long-Term Follow-up

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid- to long-term outcomes of metatarsal head resurfacing hemiarthroplasty in the surgical treatment of advanced-stage hallux rigidus.

METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of 57 consecutive patients (25 [43.9%] males, 32 [56.1%] females; mean age, 61.0 ± 6.4 years) who underwent first metatarsal head resurfacing hemiarthroplasty (HemiCAP) for hallux rigidus between August 2007 and September 2010. Sixty-five implantations were performed in 57 patients; 8 patients underwent bilateral procedures. All patients were clinically rated prior to surgery and at the final follow-up visit using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal scale and first metatarsophalangeal joint range of motion (MTPJ ROM).

RESULTS: The median follow-up duration was 81 (range = 8-98) months. The median preoperative AOFAS score was 34 (range = 22-59) points, which had increased to 83 (range = 26-97) points at the final follow-up visit (P < .001). The median preoperative first MTPJ ROM was 25° (range = 15° to 40°), which had increased to 75° (range = 30° to 85°) at the final follow-up visit (P < .001).

CONCLUSIONS: First MTPJ hemiarthroplasty is an effective treatment method that recovers toe function and first MTPJ ROM, and provides good mid- to long-term functional outcomes.
