RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: We aimed to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy (DCMO) for young female patients with mild-to-moderate juvenile hallux valgus deformity. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the radiographs and clinical findings of young female patients with mild-to-moderate juvenile hallux valgus who underwent MIS (25 feet) or DCMO (30 feet). In 12 of 25 MIS feet, 2.0-mm bio-absorbable pins were used as an additional fixation device crossing the osteotomy site, and 1.4-mm Kirschner wires were used in the remaining 13 feet. RESULTS: Radiographic and clinical parameters preoperatively and at the final follow-up were not significantly different between the 2 groups. There were no significant differences in the increments of hallux valgus angle (HVA), distal metatarsal articular angle, medial sesamoid position, first metatarsal length, metatarsal length index, or relative second metatarsal length. Two MIS subgroups according to the additional fixation device showed no significant differences in HVA, the first to second intermetatarsal angle lateral translation ratio, or plantar offset at the final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: MIS for young female patients with mild-to-moderate juvenile hallux valgus deformity had similar radiographic and clinical outcomes compared to DCMO. Regarding additional fixation crossing the osteotomy site, both temporary Kirschner wires and absorbable pins showed no radiographic differences in terms of correction maintenance. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.

Wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) is a promising development for surgeons and patients through improved operation outcomes in hand and wrist surgery. The authors have mostly used WALANT for flexor and extensor tendon repair, tenolysis, and tendon transfer. Its application at W Hospital in korea has bolstered surgeon confidence in tendon repair integrity, gliding ability, and transfer tension via direct observation and patient feedback. The authors do not use WALANT in complicated tenolysis or in secondary surgeries in previous severe injury situations. The procedure has proven similarly unsuitable in incomplete or complete digit replantation.

BACKGROUND: The importance of preoperative evaluation of the position and degree of arthritic changes of the medial sesamoid bone before hallux valgus correction is emerging. This is an observational study to evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of hallux valgus deformity, and assess the severity of and identify the factors that influence the arthritic changes in medial sesamoid-metatarsal (mSM) joints. METHODS: We reviewed weight-bearing anteroposterior radiographs, forefoot axial radiographs and MR images of 514 feet of 405 patients who underwent hallux valgus correction. On MRI, the degrees of the arthritic changes in the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) and mSM joints were categorized into 5 classes. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors affecting the arthritic changes. RESULTS: The binary logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age, more lateralized position of medial sesamoid bone on forefoot axial radiograph, and higher MRI grade of arthritic change of the 1st MTP joint were significant factors contributing to medial sesamoid arthritis (P<0.001, 0.001. 0.006, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Medial sesamoid arthritis can be assessed using MRI. The position of medial sesamoid bone on forefoot axial radiographs can strongly help predict the possibility of mSM joint arthritis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, observational study.

BACKGROUND: We present a one-stage procedure for lengthening the fourth brachymetatarsia with autogenous iliac bone and cartilage cap grafting for the anatomical reconstruction of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint METHODS: During the last 8 years, 56 feet in 41 patients with congenital brachymetatarsia of the fourth toe were corrected with a one-stage operation to reposition the articular cartilage cap to the distal part of interpositional iliac bone graft at the metatarsal epiphysis. RESULTS: The length of the harvested iliac bone graft was 22.9 mm on average. The mean fixation period was 58.5 days, and the mean gain in length and percentage increase was 20.9 mm and 39%, respectively. MRI showed a stable MTP joint over viable cartilage cap in 83.3% of the cases. Mean postoperative American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society lesser MTP-interphalangeal score was 82.0. Neither neurovascular impairment nor recurrence of brachymetatarsia occurred in the mean follow-up period of 43.6 months. All patients were satisfied with the postoperative cosmetic results. Thirteen patients (23.2%) complained of limited active dorsiflexion of the fourth toe, and extensor adhesion was released by extensor tenolysis in only one patient. In a single case of nonunion at the bone graft site, additional surgery was not necessary. CONCLUSIONS: Anatomical reconstruction of the fourth brachymetatarsia with one-stage interpositional iliac bone and cartilage cap grafting resulted in excellent cosmetic results and a physiologic MTP joint, providing the benefits of one-stage lengthening with a low complication rate. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, IV.

There are many options in the management of fingertip or finger amputations. Injudicious revision amputation may cause complications. These complications can be prevented by tension-free closure of the amputation stump or primary coverage with appropriate flap. Replantation is the best way to keep the original length and maintain digital function. Patent vein repair or venous drainage with bleeding until neovascularization to the replanted part is the key to successful replantation. Prevention and management of complications in replantation and revision amputation increase patients' satisfaction and decrease costs. Research is needed to define new indications of replantation for digital amputation.
