Hallux Rigidus
49
Hallux Rigidus Second most common condition affecting the hallux MP joint Termed coined by Cotterill in 1888, after description by Davies-Colley in 1887
50
Hallux Rigidus Definition = stiffness of 1st MTPJ
Multiple names given: Hallux flexus/limitus Multiple etiologies considered Degenerative Traumatic (overuse/OCD/injury sequlae) Dorsal bunion (paralytic) Metatarsus primus elevatus
51
Hallux Rigidus Two groups: Adolescent Adult
Rigid swollen joint, painful DF Chondral lesion (traumatic) or OCD (atraumatic) Adult Degenerative destruction ? Overuse or traumatic etiology
52
Hallux Rigidus Presentation Dorsal prominenceshoewear irritation
Painful ROM (PF and DF, with push-off)
53
Hallux Rigidus Examination TTP over dorsal prominence
Keratosis TTP over sesamoids – poorer prognosis 1st MTP ROM Pain at extremes Pain at mid-range poorer prognosis Drawer exam
54
Hallux Rigidus Radiographs Varying Grades
55
Hallux Rigidus Radiographic worsening does NOT equate to clinical worsening
56
Hallux Rigidus Treatment Shoewear modifications Orthotics Taping
Size Cushion prominences Orthotics Full length orthotic with TPE or carbon fiber Morton’s extension under 1st ray Taping Rx NSAID’s
57
Hallux Rigidus Treatment Steroid injection SELECTIVE

60
Hallux Rigidus Surgical Tx Lengthy discussion with athlete
Expectations Pain relief (majority) ? ↓ push-off power
61
Metatarsal Stress Fracture
62
Stress Fracture Definition
Partial or complete fracture of a bone due to its inability to withstand nonviolent, rhythmic, repetitive subthreshold stress
63
Stress Fractures Pathophysiology
“Accumulation of microdamage to bone occurring with multiple subultimate failure strain loads & failure of body to initiate healing response.” AAOS ICL 2004 “Sub-threshold stress exceeds the body’s reparative ability” Crack Initiation Propogation Final Frx
64
Stress Fractures Etiology Anatomy Foot Type & Alignment Blood Supply
Subtle Cavus Long 2nd MT Leg Length Discrepancy Blood Supply 5th MT base, middle MT neck
65
Stress Fractures Etiology Footwear Training Surface
↑ in intensity/distance or ∆ in training method Metabolic Hormone abnormality Menstrual irregularity, oral contraceptives Female Triad Calcium metabolism Rickets: Vitamin D deficiency, renal tubular insufficiency, osteodystrophy, hypophosphatasia, Hyperparathyroidism
66
Stress Fractures History AWARENESS
Wide spectrum of presentation ↑ pain with activity, ↑ pain with pressure ∆ (airplane) Vague, deep “throbbing” pain Alteration in stress/training +/- report of an actual single event Frx 2° continued loading Chronic fractures can have very subtle and unimpressive findings

72
Stress Fractures Imaging Supports Clinical Suspicion Know Your Imaging
XR lag behind or negative in 30-70% cases MRI & Bone Scan show reaction before fracture line is visable on CT
73
Stress Fractures XR Tc99 MRI CT

78
MT Stress Fractures 5th MT Fracture-Operative Indications Athlete
Acute/stress fx Nonunion Re-fracture Cavovarus = lateral overload
79
MT Stress Fractures Operative Goals Expedite healing
Quicker recovery; easier rehab Decrease re-fracture risk
80
Ankle Problems Tendinopathy Achilles Posterior Tibial Peroneal
82
Tendinopathy
83
Tendons: Basic Science
*Aging results in increased stiffness due to inc. collagen cross-linking Decrease in tensile strength
84
Tendons: Basic Science
Blood Supply 3 sources Musculotendinous junction Surrounding connective tissue Bone-tendon junction Zones of Hypovascularity Decreases with age and mechanical loading
85
Tendinopathy: Etiology
Overuse injury (i.e. Degenerative Tendinopathy): Multifactorial: Repetitive microtrauma (fibril level) Load induced ischemia oxygen free radicals Local hypoxia tenocyte death Hyperthermic cell injury Most common histiopathologic finding in tendon rupture Biomechanics Cavus Peroneal Tendons Planus (Pronation) Achilles Tendon, Post Tib Tendon
86
Tendinopathy: Etiology
Corticosteroids Flouroquinolones Autoimmune disorders, inflammatory arthropathies, infection Trauma
87
Tendon Healing Immobilization Mobilization
Decreases water and proteoglycan content Increases reducible crosslinks Results in tendon atrophy Mobilization Controlled stresses in proliferative and remodeling phases highly organized collagen, increased tenocyte DNA content and protein synthesis Increased tensile strength, cross-sectional area
88
Achilles Tendon Zone of hypovascularity 2-6cm proximal to insertion
Forces 8-10x body wt. in running
89
Achilles Tendon Insertional Tendinopathy Non-insertional Tendinopathy
Occurs in older, less athletic, overweight individuals Non-insertional Tendinopathy Occurs in more active athletes as a result of repetitive stess of jumping, pushing off and cutting activities
90
Achilles Tendon 1° CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS
MRI Failure of Non-op Tx or Surgical planning
92
Achilles Tendon Treatment-Non-insertional Paratenonitis
Activity Modification Cross training Swimming, Stationary Bike Rx NSAID’s and/or Medrol Dose Pack 0.25 inch heel lift Ice, Contrast baths Orthotics for overpronators Prevent “whipping” action on tendon Cam boot immobilization (if sx’s > 6 wks)
93
Achilles Tendon Treatment-Non-insertional Paratenonitis
Refractory Brisement injections
94
Achilles Tendon Treatment-Non-insertional Paratenonitis w/ Tendinosis
Cam boot w/ 0.25 in heel lift Until no pain w/ ambulation shoe w/ lift PT Rx Eccentric Exercise Program, Iontophoresis, US, X-friction massage +/-Night Splint +/-Topical Nitro-Dur Patch 0.1mg/hr x 5-7 days
95
Achilles Tendon Treatment-Non-insertional Paratenonitis w/ Tendinosis
Refractory Tx Options PRP Injection Controversial!
96
Achilles Tendon Treatment-Non-insertional Paratenonitis w/ Tendinosis
Surgical Treatment LAST RESORT!!! MUST fail 6 mos of non-operative tx Plethora of Surgical Procedures Results 70-75% good to excellent LESS than traditional orthopaedic procedures
97
Peroneal Tendons
98
Peroneal Tendon Tears Anatomic Predispositions Peroneus quartus
Hypertrophied peroneal tubercle Os peroneum Low lying peroneus brevis Convex/Flat groove Cavo-varus foot
99
Peroneal Tendons Important Characteristics Pain Location
Behind or distal to lateral malleolus PB- Distal to LM Base of 5th PL- Over lateral calcaneus peroneal tubercle Pain Elicitation Passive PF & Inversion Resisted active DF & Everison If pop/click elicited ? Tear or intra-sheath subluxation
100
Peroneal Tendons 1° CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS XR Standard foot views
MRI Difficulty in diagnosis or Surgical planning Sensitivity 17%, Specificity 100% (Kijowski et al.)
101
Peroneal Tendons Non-operative Treatment RICE
Cam boot or ASO until pain subsides Rx NSAID’s or Dose Pack PT Orthotics for Cavus foot Gradual Return with FPP
102
Peroneal Tendons Surgical Treatment Failure of non-operative treatment
Procedure tailored to pathology Debridement +/- repair, possible groove deepening, excision p. quartus or p. brevis muscle belly, excision peroneal tubercle
103
Posterior Tib Tendon Anatomy Zone of hypovascularity
Acute angulation of tendon Zone of hypovascularity Frey: starts cm distal to MM and extends to navicular insertion
104
Posterior Tib Tendon Important Characteristics Medial ankle pain
TTP over course PTT Fullness over PTT Arch collapse “Too many toes” sign Inability to perform DSHR or SSHR
105
Posterior Tib Tendon AP/lateral weight bearing films of foot and/or ankle Talo-navicular “sag” Plantar flexion of Talus Collapse of midfoot Collapse of the talo-calcaneal angle MRI Difficulty in diagnosis or Surgical planning
106
Posterior Tib Tendon Non-operative Treatment RICE
PT for Eccentric PTT program Rx NSAID’s or Dose Pack Protection If can do SSHR Orthotic w/ high trim line medially or Aircast Airlift PTTD brace If not Cam boot with arch support inside
107
Posterior Tib Tendon Operative Treatment Failure of 4-6 mos Non-op Tx
