ABSTRACT
We present a comparison of preoperative and final postoperative first ray measurements in 109 feet after triplane tarsometatarsal arthrodesis at a mean follow-up time of 17.4 months. Preoperative and final postoperative first ray variables including intermetatarsal angle (IMA), hallux valgus angle (HVA), tibial sesamoid position (TSP), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), Seiberg index, metatarsal rotation angle (MRA), sesamoid subluxation, osseous union, and hardware failure were evaluated. Measurements were made by consistently using the mid-diaphyseal line of the bone segments for both preoperative and postoperative assessments. The mean preoperative HVA, IMA, and TSP were 22.9°, 13.3°, and 4.6. The mean differences (95% confidence interval) in preoperative and postoperative values were -14.9° (-16.3° to -13.4°) for HVA, -7.7° (-8.2° to -7.2°) for IMA, and -2.6 (-2.8 to -2.3) for TSP. Among bunions with MRA measurements, the mean difference was -12.3° (-14.5° to -10.0°). The preoperative to postoperative DMAA decreased by a mean of -14.2° (-15.9° to -12.6°). The results of this study suggest that triplane tarsometatarsal arthrodesis produces appropriate correction of hallux valgus radiographic parameters.

O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a relação entre o esgotamento profissional, a qualidade de vida, e o tempo de serviço de cuidadores de idosos. Estudo transversal com 21 cuidadores, aplicando-se o questionário abreviado World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) e o Questionário de Caracterização da Síndrome de Burnout. Foram realizados testes de correlação para estabelecer as relações entre as variáveis: qualidade de vida, nível de Burnout e tempo de serviço.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between professional exhaustion, quality of life, and length of service of caregivers of the elderly. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 21 caregivers, using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) abbreviated questionnaire and the Burnout Syndrome Characterization Questionnaire. Correlation tests were performed to establish the relationships between variables: quality of life, Burnout level and length of service.
