First Metatarsophalangeal Arthrodesis for Hallux Rigidus and Hallux Valgus: A Comparison of Patient Reported and Clinical Outcomes

Few prior studies have compared the patient reported outcomes of first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis between hallux rigidus and hallux valgus patients. Furthermore, we sought to examine the impact of postoperative radiographic hallux alignment on outcomes scores within each group. A retrospective review of 98 patients who a received primary metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis from January 2010 to March 2020. Clinical complications including non-union were collected. Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information Systems (PROMIS) Physical Function, PROMIS Pain Interference, and the Foot Function Index (FFI) Revised Short Form scores were obtained via telephone.
