Reoperation Rates

In an attempt to determine failure or reoperation rates for common forefoot procedures, the records of 706 patients who had 1003 forefoot operations were studied. The revision rate for the Keller procedure was 2.26% when no interposition implant was used. The revision rate for metatarsal osteotomies, mainly due to nonunion, was 2.7%. The revision rate for proximal phalangectomies was 3.3%, being 1.9% when the distal end of the phalanx was removed and 4.4% when the proximal end was removed. The failure rate for proximal interphalangeal joint fusion was 17.8%. These results demonstrate that the antiquity of a procedure is not necessarily a recommendation.

Lost To Follow Up

Ten patients with scleroderma and severe hand problems required surgery, and seven were available for follow-up (two died from scleroderma-related complications and one was lost to follow-up). The mean duration of follow-up was 4 (range 1.5–9) years. Thirty-three procedures were carried out, including five metacarpophalangeal joint exisional arthroplasties, 13 proximal interphalangeal joint fusions, ten distal interphalangeal joint fusions, and one thumb interphalangeal joint fusion. The metacarpophalangeal joint excision arthroplasties and proximal interphalangeal joint fusions were performed for the correction of severe fixed “finger-in-palm” deformities. Lesions of cutaneous calcinosis were removed in four patients. Fixation was satisfactory in all cases of interphalangeal joint fusion, with no cases of non-union. Wound healing was satisfactory in six of seven patients. A second surgical procedure was required in three patients for the removal of tension band wires following interphalangeal fusion. Calcinosis was effectively removed using a high-speed dental burr. The results of hand surgery for systemic sclerosis are reliable, but goals must be limited and patient expectations should be modest.
