Abstract

We performed a retrospective study in 188 patients (254 feet) with rheumatoid arthritis and compared the late results of Keller's procedure with those of Hueter-Mayo's technique after 7.9 years. More than 60% of the Keller group and 30% of the Hueter-Mayo group were suffering from persistent metatarsalgia due to increased forefoot pressure as well as experiencing pain around the great toe. Plantar callosities, recurrent hallux valgus deformity, lack of plantar flexion and weakened push-off were more frequent after Keller's procedure.

Résumé.

Nous présentons une étude rétrospective de 188 patients (254 pieds) atteints de polyarthrite rhumatoïde et avons comparé le résultat de la technique de Keller avec celle de Hueter-Mayo après 7.9 années. Plus de 60% des patients du groupe Keller et 30% du groupe Hueter-Mayo a souffert de métatarsalgies persistantes dû à l'augmentation de la pression de l'avant-pied et de douleurs du premier orteil. Callosités plantaires, hallux valgus récurrent, manque de flexion plantaire et de force de poussée du premier orteil étaient plus fréquents après le procédé de Keller.
