Summary

The plantar plate is an important static stabilizer of lesser metatarsophalangeal joints, and disruptions of the plantar plate can lead to significant instability and lesser toe deformities.Our study proposes an inexpensive and versatile method for plantar plate repair

Detailed description

A torn plantar plate is small and difficult to access using regular instruments in a restricted operative field. A unique method for plantar plate repairs was used to repair various configurations of plantar plate tears with standard operative instruments that is available in most operating rooms. A retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent operations for lesser MTPJ instability between September 2015 and December 2019. The outcome analysis included the Lesser Metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal Scale from the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) forefoot score, the Visual Analogue Scale score for pain and satisfaction, and answering the question "Would you recommend this procedure to other patients?"
