Introduction/Purpose:
Many studies have compared the outcomes of MTPJ1 hemiarthroplasty and arthrodesis, but there is a paucity of data on the influence of patient factors on clinical outcomes. A prior prospective, randomized, clinical trial compared the efficacy and safety of first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ1) hemiarthroplasty with a synthetic polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel implant (Cartiva®) and MTPJ1 arthrodesis for moderate to severe hallux rigidus. The current study evaluated the data from this clinical trial to determine the impact of numerous patient variables, including osteoarthritis grade, hallux valgus angle, preoperative range of motion (ROM), gender, body mass index (BMI), preoperative duration of symptoms, and preoperative pain level, on the success or failure of MTPJ1 hemiarthroplasty and arthrodesis.
Methods:
Patients =18 years diagnosed with hallux rigidus grade 2, 3, or 4 were randomized and treated with synthetic cartilage implant MTPJ1 hemiarthroplasty (n=129) or arthrodesis (n=47). Outcome measures included a pain visual analogue scale (VAS), Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) Sports and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores, and Short Form-36 Physical Functioning (SF-36 PF) subscore, obtained preoperatively and at 2, 6, 12, 24, 52 and 104 weeks postoperatively. Great toe active dorsiflexion motion, secondary procedures, radiographs and safety parameters were evaluated. A patient’s outcome was deemed successful if composite primary endpoint criteria for clinical success (pain, function and safety) were met at 24 months. Predictor variables included: osteoarthritis grade; hallux valgus angle; preoperative ROM; gender; body mass index (BMI); preoperative symptom duration; prior surgery; and preoperative pain level. Two-sided Fisher’s Exact test was used to assess the impact of these variables on success of surgery (p0.05) in success rates (i.e., VAS pain reduction ≥ 30%, maintenance/improvement in function, freedom from radiographic complications, and no secondary surgical intervention) between synthetic cartilage implant MTPJ1 hemiarthroplasty and arthrodesis when stratified by osteoarthritis grade, degree of preoperative hallux valgus, extent of preoperative ROM, gender, BMI, duratio |
