Comparison of outcomes according to fixation technique following the modified Ludloff osteotomy for hallux valgus in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders Sep 02, 2017

Jo YH, et al. – This study compared outcomes including fixation stability of osteotomy site in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who underwent modified Ludloff osteotomy to correct hallux valgus with osteotomy site fixation using two screws versus those who underwent additional fixation using a plate. In patients who underwent fixation using only the two–screw fixation technique following modified Ludloff osteotomy, correction loss occurred at the osteotomy site within 6 weeks after surgery; such loss could be attenuated using the augmented plate fixation technique even in patients with osteoporosis.
