Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of axial shortening metatarsal osteotomy on the treatment of advanced rheumatoid arthritis patients with severe hallux valgus and claw toe deformity of lesser toes which is used for preserving the metatarsophalangeal joint. Materials and Methods: From January 2005 to June 2009, 18 cases of axial shortening metatarsal osteotomy in advanced rheumatoid arthritis were reviewed ; all of them followed up for more than 2 years after surgical procedures and the mean follow up period was 3.4 years. We performed axial shortening Scarf osteotomy and Akin osteotomy for hallux valgus and Weil osteotomy with soft tissue release for claw toe of lesser toes, respectively. We measured preoperative and postoperative hallux valgus angle, each metatarsal shortening length and the range of motion of the metatarsophalangeal joints through radiographic and clinical examination and compared them each other. Clinical results were evaluated by American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and subjective satisfaction of the patients. Results: The hallux valgus angle was reduced from the preoperative mean value of 44.8 degree to 9.0 degree postoperatively and the range of motion of the metatarsophalangeal joint of great toe and lesser toes was increased from the mean of 21.7 degree and 11.0 degree preoperatively to 38.0 degree and 32.5 degree, respectively at postoperation. Also, the mean AOFAS score was improved from 26.5 points to 67.4 points. Conclusion: Axial shortening osteotomy is a useful method to correct the deformity and preserve the metatarsophalangeal joint for severe hallux valgus and claw toe deformity in advanced rheumatoid arthritis.

Hallux valgus deformity has been slowly getting popular in Korea. Many surgical procedures are available for treating the hallux valgus, but it is still controversial for the best treatment. We operated 25 feet(15 patients) of hallux valgus between May. 88 and December. 94. The clinical results were as follow ; 1. Age distribution was 25 to 82, and all female. 10 patients have bilateral hallux valgus. 2. 19 feet were treated by soft tissue procedures only and 6 feet by combined soft tissue and bony procedures. 3. Bunion deformity was recurred in 2 feet (1 Patient) which were treated with modified McBride Method. 4. Lateral sesamoidectomies were performed in 7 feet without development of hallux varus. 5. The cosmetic and functional results were good in 6 cases treated by proximal metatarsal osteotomy. 6. 9 feet had other digits deformities, which need surgical correction. 7. Tightening repair of medial capsule seems to be important for prevention of recurrence of bunion.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to the evaluate the clinical and radiographic results and complication of the Scarf osteotomy which is one of the surgical treatment of Hallux valgus. Material and Method: Fifty feet (30 patients) of moderate to severe hallux valgus deformity were operated by Scarf osteotomy procedure from January 2002 to July 2002. Patients were asked about their satisfaction in terms of pain, appearance and motion. The AOFAS clinical ratio scales and radiographic results for hallux valgus were evaluated. Result: The mean Hallux valgus angle improved from an average of 30.6 degrees to 9.0 degrees and the first intermetatarsal angle improved from an average 13.3 degrees to 5.2 degrees respectively. The preoperative mean AOFAS score was 58 points and on last follow up AOFAS score improved to 88 points. Complication which including troughing, nonunion, malunion was not developed. Conclusion: We found that Scarf osteotomy is a reliable operation for mild to moderate Hallux valgus deformity as regards firm fixation and early postoperative ambulation and large contact area for union.

Past research has reported that the common causes of ankle arthritis include trauma, congenital deformity, and degeneration. Among them, fracture-induced post-traumatic arthritis is most common. For patients with ankle fractures, an anatomical reduction is performed through surgical treatment. However, insufficient reduction or malunion of the fracture site may change the alignment of the ankle joint, resulting in valgus or varus deformities. Currently, most operative options for valgus arthritis aim to either restore joint alignment and/or reduce the uneven load on the cartilage. In this report, we would like to share our clinical experience of a patient with posttraumatic valgus ankle arthritis caused by severely comminuted fracture and dislocation. A satisfactory outcome could be obtained with combined fibular lengthening osteotomy and medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy.

목적: 심한 후족부 변형 및 족관절 및 거골하 관절염에서 역행성 골수강내 금속정을 이용한 경거종골 관절 유합술을 시행하여 방사선적 결과와 임상적 결과를 분석해보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 심한 후족부 변형이나 진행된 관절염으로 역행성 골수강내 금속정을 이용한 경거종골 관절 유합술을 시행 받은 22명(22예)을 대상으로 하였다. 연구 대상의 평균 연령은 57.4세(22-82세), 평균 추시 기간은 29.6개월(12-74개월)이었다. 방사선적 평가로 수술 전후 관상면상 족관절 정렬각, 후족부 정렬각, 시상면상 정렬각을 측정하였으며, 술 후 골유합 시기를 평가하였다. 임상적 평가로 visual analogue scale (VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) 점수 및 합병증을 분석하였다. 또한 변형각 10°를 기준으로 두 군으로 나누어 결과를 통계적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 전체 환자에서 평균 관상면상 족관절 정렬각은 술 전 내반 변형을 보인 환자 14명에서 17.8°±14.5°였으며, 외반 변형을 보인 환자 6명에서 8.1°±6.6°였다. 술 후 모든 예에서 관상면상 족관절 정렬각은 5° 미만으로 만족스럽게 교정되었다. 평균 후 족부 정렬각은 술 전 내반 변형을 보인 환자 12명에서 15.2°±10.5°였으며, 외반 변형을 보인 환자 6명에서 8.1°±4.2°였다. 술 후 94.4% (17명)에서 후족부 정렬각은 5° 미만으로 만족스럽게 교정되었다. 방사선적 골유합은 90.9%에서 평균 19.2주(12-32주)에 이루어졌으며, 2예의 불유합이 있었다. 임상적 결과에서 술 후 평균 VAS 및 AOFAS 점수는 유의하게 향상되었다(p<0.001, p<0.001). 술 전 변형각 10° 이상의 심한 변형을 보인 경우에도 술 후 관상면상 족관절 정렬각과 후족부 정렬각은 의미있게 교정되었다(p<0.001, p<0.001). 또한 관상면상 족관절 정렬각이 10° 이상인 군과 10° 미만인 군 사이에 술 후 평균 관상면상 족관절 정렬각은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p=0.162). 결론: 역행성 골수강내 금속정을 이용한 경거종골 관절 유합술은 만족스러운 변형 교정력, 높은 골유합률과 낮은 합병증을 보였으며, 임상적 결과의 향상을 보였기에 유용한 수술 방법 중의 하나라고 생각된다. 특히 심각한 족관절 및 후족부 변형을 동반한 환자에서도 효과적인 치료 방법으로 고려될 수 있다.

Cavovarus deformities of both feet in 28 years old female patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease were treated by one-staged pantalar arthrodesis. Excellent results were achieved at 6 years after surgery. She could walk without brace or stick and she was satisfied with the result of one-staged pantalar arthrodesis. One-stage pantalar arthrodesis is an effective method of treatment for cavovarus deformity of foot in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

There have been many reports about surgical treatments of flexible flatfoot in children and acquired adult flatfoot deformity due to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction common in the 5th and 6th decades. However there has been a controversy for surgical treatment guideline for painful idiopathic flexible flatfoot deformities in young adults. Therefore, we present a 27-year-old female with severe painful idiopathic flexible flatfoot who was treated with medial sliding calcaneal osteotomy and subtalar arthroereisis using $Kalix^{(R)}$ (Newdeal SA, Vienne, France) endoprosthesis and had good clinical outcome with high patient satisfaction at 10 months follow-up postoperatively.

Charcot arthropathy of the foot and ankle is characterized by a combination of sensory, motor and autonomic peripheral neuropathy leading to gross swelling, bony destruction and finally severe bony deformity with joint instability. We report a case of very unstable Charcot arthropathy in ankle joint managed with ankle arthrodesis using fibular strut bone grafting technique.

Ankle arthrodesis is a common and standard treatment for patients with end-stage ankle arthritis. The surgical goals of ankle arthrodesis are to obtain bony union between the tibia and talus with adequate alignment, and provide a pain-free plantigrade foot for weightbearing activities. To achieve successful fusion, the surgeon should closely examine the patient's factors before surgery, particularly the following: adjacent arthritis and deformity, infection, avascular necrosis of talus, Charcot arthropathy, and rheumatoid arthritis. Recently, ankle arthroplasty has been reported to provide satisfactory clinical results. On the other hand, long-term follow-up results are still lacking, and considering the various complications of arthroplasty, ankle arthrodesis is still the primary surgical treatment for advanced arthritis of the ankle joint.

Accessory navicular is a congenital anomaly appearing in the secondary ossification center on the tuberosity of the navicular that may cause flatfoot. Bipartite medial cuneiform is another rare congenital anomaly occurring as two primary ossification centers in the medial cuneiform. The authors report a rare case of symptomatic bilateral accessory navicular with bipartite medial cuneiform and flatfoot deformity in a 19-year-old man with a review of the literature.
