    Send Orders for Reprints to [email protected] 78 The Open Orthopaedics Journal, 2015, 9, 78-83 Open Access Surgical Management of the Forefoot in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis - A Review Article W.J. Nash, S. Al-Nammari, W.S. Khan* and I.P. Pengas University College London Institute of Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Sciences, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, London, HA7 4LP, UK Abstract: Foot and ankle pathologies cause a significant disease burden on rheumatoid patients. Forefoot pathologies causes pain, callosities and possibly ulceration, and can cause problems with footwear. Forefoot correction in rheumatoid patients has historically comprised of excision of diseased joints. While satisfaction was high with this procedure, complications, changing expectations and improvement in medical therapy have raised expectation of patients, physicians and surgeons alike. This review assesses the role of joint preserving osteotomies and arthrodesis, as well as associated complications. It also describes the role of the multidisciplinary team in the management of these patients. Keywords: Arthrodesis, forefoot, osteotomy management, rheumatoid arthritis, surgical. INTRODUCTION callosity formation and ulceration. Examination of the forefoot should focus on deformity of the first ray (hallux Foot and ankle problems become increasingly common valgus) and its ability to perform its weight-bearing in rheumatoid patients with time. Over 50% of patients may mechanical function. Prominence of a painful medial have a foot and ankle problems at any time [1-3], with a eminence or bunion with or without inflamed bursa, lifetime prevalence of up to 90% [4, 5]. Over 65% patients deformities of the lesser toes, commonly claw and hammer have forefoot involvement at presentation, and lesser toe toes, with painful callosity formation over the dorsum of the deformities are more common [6].

  • Bunion Treatment from the Foot and Ankle Center of Washington
    Bunion Treatment from the Foot and Ankle Center of Washington 1 © Foot and Ankle Center of Washington – All Rights Reserved Bunion Treatment from the Foot and Ankle Center of Washington THE 10 SECRETS TO RELIEVING BUNION PAIN Eliminate bunion pain without surgery using these effective at-home remedies A bunion is swelling that occurs at the base of your big toe, causing the toe to tilt inward and a bump to form on the outside of big toe joint. Bunion pain can limit activity, be painful, and cause concerns that costly treatment might be needed. The good news is that most bunion pain can be treated conservatively and do not need an invasive or surgical procedure. Committing to following this at-home treatment plan for 2 to 3 weeks works for most people. Here’s what you can do: 1. Support Arches at Home: Wear comfortable sandals with arch supports around the house instead of slippers or bare feet. This allows your foot and the bunion pain to heal faster. The secret here is to alleviate the pressure from the big toe joint using a good arch support inside a sandal that is comfortable to use at home. Try: Orthaheel Sandal Wave Flip Flop 2. Support Arches On the Go: Wear a high quality arch support in your shoes to relieve pressure on the big toe joint. A properly prescribed custom orthotic will do this most effectively, but at the very least try an over- the-counter orthotic insole. Avoid wearing high heeled or stiff shoes that irritate the bunion and cause further pain.
