PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the length of the dorsal locking plate on the failure rate of first MTP joint arthrodesis for severe hallux valgus deformities.
METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted for all patients who underwent first MTP joint arthrodesis using solely a specific locked plating system (Depuy-Synthes, Raynham, MA) for severe hallux valgus deformities between January 2014 to June 2017. Patients were divided into subgroups according to the length of the plate and the failure rate was investigated. Furthermore, radiographic parameters including intermetatarsal angle (IMA) and hallux valgus angle (HVA) were evaluated in weightbearing AP foot radiographs.
RESULTS: A total of 25 patients were included in this study. There were 16 (64%) patients in the medium-sized plate cohort and 9 (36%) patients in the small-sized plate cohort. We found a significant difference in the failure rate between the two groups; only 1 (6.25%) failure case occurred in the medium-sized plate cohort while 4 (44.44%) failure cases occurred in the small-sized plate cohort (P = .040, Odds ratio (OR) = 12.000, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.074, 134.110). The mean postoperative IMA and HVA were significantly improved in both cohorts. However, significant differences were found between the two cohorts in final follow-up IMA and HVA (P = .002 and P < .001, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: For severe hallux valgus deformities, the use of longer plates to gain additional purchase in the diaphyseal bone may help mitigate the increased stresses placed on the fixation constructs for first MTP joint arthrodesis and decrease failure rate.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, case control study.
