NCT03530839

Brief Summary

Background: The aim of this study was to compare operative outcomes after lesser toe deformity correction with either proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint arthrodesis or PIP joint resection arthroplasty. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was performed on 37 patients (48 toes) who underwent one of these two procedures. The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, osseous consolidation, and clinical outcome were evaluated preoperatively and at 6 weeks and 6 months postoperatively.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Pain

    Change in pain was evaluated using the Numeric Rating Scale for pain (ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum pain))

    Change from preoperatively to 6 weeks postoperatively and to 6months postoperatively

  • Function

    Change in function was evaluated using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score (ranging from 0 (severe impairment) to 100 (no problems with foot))

    Change from preoperatively to 6 weeks postoperatively and to 6months postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Osseous consolidation

    6months postoperatively

Study Arms (2)
