Introduction

Osteoarthritis in the foot and ankle affects approximately 30,000 patients annually in the UK. Evidence has shown that excess weight exacerbates foot pain, with significant increases in joint forces. However, despite the current trend for Clinical Commissioning Groups to ration surgery for obese patients, studies have not yet determined the effect of weight loss in obese patients with foot and ankle arthritis.

Aim

Pilot study to investigate the effect of simulated weight loss on pain scores in obese patients with symptomatic foot and ankle arthritis.

Minimally Invasive foot surgery remains controversial

Potential benefits include a reduced incidence of wound complications, faster return to employment and normal footwear. There are no studies published regarding the results of minimally invasive dorsal cheilectomy.

Patients and Methods

Thirty eight patients with painful grade I hallux rigidus underwent dorsal cheilectomy between April 2006 and June 2010. Minimally invasive cheilectomy (MIC) was introduced in August 2009. AOFAS scores, satisfaction, return to normal shoes and employment were assessed.
