This study compared radiographic and functional patient outcomes of 1st MTP arthrodesis between hallux rigidus (HR) and hallux valgus (HV) cohorts....
A retrospective review was conducted at an academic medical center on patients who underwent 1st MTP arthrodesis during 2009-2021. In total, 136 patients (148 feet: HR=57, HV=47, combined=44) met the ...
PROMs improved overall, with HV patients significantly improving the least. The HR group had a significantly smaller improvement in HV angle (HR=-3.6, HV=-17, Combined=-15 p < .001), intermetatarsal a...
Outcomes of 1st MTP arthrodesis does not appear to differ between diagnostic indications of hallux rigidus, hallux valgus, or both....
Level III, Retrospective cohort study....
An association between the medial partite hallux sesamoid (MPHS) and hallux valgus (HV) has been suggested; however, a causal relationship has not been confirmed. This study aimed to determine their c...
The fifth survey of the Research on Osteoarthritis/Osteoporosis against Disability study involved 1997 participants aged 21-95 years who had undergone anteroposterior radiography of bilateral feet. Th...
MPHS was found in 508 out of 3994 feet (12.7 %), with a significant difference in prevalence between men and women (10.0 % vs. 13.7 %, p < 0.001). Trend analysis demonstrated a significant decrease in...
MPHS is associated with HV. The weakening of this relationship and the decreased prevalence of MPHS with age suggest that MPHS is not caused by HV, but is one of the causes of HV, especially in younge...
Toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae causes classical diphtheria. Skin infections by toxigenic or non-toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae are prevalent in the tropics but are rarely reported....
We report the identification of a non-toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae (biovar Gravis) isolate in a 52-year-old Cambodian male. The patient presented purulent and non-healing ulcerations on the r...
This case represents, to our knowledge, the first report of Corynebacterium diphtheriae in Cambodia in the last 10 years, and highlights the lack of diagnosis and notifications of diphtheria. It is im...
Hallux saltans is similar to digitus saltans and produces a spontaneous "snapping" of the big toe. This results in a constriction of the flexor hallucis longus tendon within the osteofibrous retromall...
Among the numerous surgical interventions for correcting hallux valgus deformity in skeletally immature patients, hemiepiphysiodesis is a simple technique with a low complication rate yet its effectiv...
EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) database were searched from inception to Septem...
Six studies out of 488 with a total of 147 feet in 85 patients were included in the final qualitative synthesis. The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society hallux metatarsophalangeal interphalangea...
This systematic review confirms that hemiepiphysiodesis of the first metatarsal in patients with JHV has improved clinical and radiological outcomes....
Level IV, Systematic review....
Spindle cell lipomas are a rare type of lipoma usually presenting in middle-aged to older men, often located on the posterior neck or shoulder; presentation on the foot is exceptionally uncommon. We r...

How to reconstruct the damaged fingertip is a clinical problem. Our team propose the theory of equivalent design and use the mini toenail flap pedicled with the hallux transverse artery and toe pulp v...
A retrospective analysis was performed on 56 patients admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to January 2020 who used equivalently designed miniature hallux toenail flaps for the plastic repair of...
The size of the mini hallux toenail flap was 0.71 cm × 1.22 cm to 0.88 cm × 1.71 cm. The operation time was (3.54 ± 0.58) hours, the intraoperative blood loss was (20.66 ± 4.87) ml, and the survival r...
Based on the equivalent design theory, the mini hallux toenail flap pedicled with the hallux transverse artery and toe pulp vein transplantation technique is an effective method to reconstruct Allen's...

Juvenile hallux valgus (JHV) is a pediatric deformity characterized by the varus deviation of the first metatarsal and valgus deviation of the proximal phalanx. Among the several surgical techniques a...
Google Scholar, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane databases were searched for all the articles reporting on clinical and radiological results of hemiepiphysiodesis of the first metatarsal in the treatment ...
Six articles were included in the qualitative analysis. A total of 85 patients with 144 halluces valgus were treated through hemiepiphysiodesis of the first metatarsal. The mean age at surgery was 10....
This review showed that hemiepiphysiodesis of the first metatarsal is a safe treatment for JHV. Improvement in both clinical and radiological results has been observed in all the studies, sometimes be...
Compensatory motion of foot joints in hallux rigidus (HR) are not fully known. This study aimed to clarify the kinematic compensation within the foot and to detect whether this affects plantar pressur...
Gait characteristics were assessed in 16 patients (16 feet) with HR and compared with 15 healthy controls (30 feet) with three-dimensional gait analysis by using the multi-segment Oxford Foot Model, m...
HR subjects showed less hallux plantar flexion during midstance and less hallux dorsiflexion during push-off, while increased forefoot supination was detected during push-off. No significant differenc...
HR significantly affects sagittal hallux motion, and the forefoot compensates by an increased supination during push-off. Despite this kinematic compensatory mechanism, no significant differences in p...
