Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) Joint Pathology Management by Arthroscopy
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Arthroscopic surgery is one of the basic types of procedures in orthopedic surgery. The present study describes 10 arthroscopies of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint in 10 patients over a 5 year period. Their mean age was 32 years and the mean duration of symptoms before surgery was six months. Under general anaesthesia using a 2.3 mm 30° oblique arthroscope the MTP joint is inspected through dorsomedial and dorsolateral portals with a medial portal if necessary. All patients were found to have intra-articular pathology, which was treated using small instruments. The mean follow-up was 24 months and all patients were pain, decreased swelling and an increased range of movement of the affected joint.
