First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis for Moderate to Severe Hallux Valgus: Complications and Patient-Reported Outcomes

Our results suggest that first MTPJ arthrodesis for HV has satisfactory early term patient-reported outcomes. Improvement in PROMs is apparent by 26 weeks and sustained at 2 years postoperatively. There was a high overall complication rate (19.4%), with a non-union rate of 9.7%.

Abstract

Our results suggest that first MTPJ arthrodesis for HV has satisfactory early term patient-reported outcomes. Improvement in PROMs is apparent by 26 weeks and sustained at 2 years postoperatively. There was a high overall complication rate (19.4%), with a non-union rate of 9.7%.
