Introduction

The aim of this study was to identify the effects of first MTPJ arthritis, ankle arthritis and hallux valgus on patient reported outcomes, and to assess the efficacy of surgery.

Methods

Patients who underwent first MTPJ fusion, ankle fusion or hallux valgus correction from July 2013 to October 2014 were included in the study. Exclusion criteria included revision or simultaneous bilateral surgery, inflammatory arthropathy, or arthritis of a proximal joint awaiting arthroplasty. Subjects completed the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOX-FQ), EQ-5D index, and EQ-5D health scale on presentation and at least six months post-operatively. Between group statistical analysis was carried out using one-way ANOVA, pre- and post-operative scores were compared using a paired t-test.
