“…The first generation of implants needed a 2.7mm diameter drill hole in the metatarsal bone for passage of only one construct per forefoot that supported all the tension, and the majority of papers associated with the highest number of second metatarsal fractures used this solution. A decrease to 1.1mm for the suture bone tunnels diameter in the new generation of implants minimizes the induced fragility of the second metatarsal shaft [46][47][48][49]. Another improvement of the system design aimed at reducing the risk for fracture is the addition of a special metallic, 43 millimeters long buttress plate on which the two 2.6 millimeters lateral buttons disperse the pressure on a higher supporting surface which is placed between them and the second metatarsal cortical bone.…”

Hallux valgus represents an acquired foot deformity defined by medial deviation of the first metatarsal bone combined with lateral shift of the hallux and medial metatarsophalageal joint eminence enlargement. The functional impairment and metatarsalgia generated stem from the biomechanical imbalance which does not allow for normal transfer of weight trough the first ray during walking. The results generated with our experience with the 1.1mm Mini TightRope® Disposable Kitin the treatment of hallux valgus are analyzed in this paper. A total number of 24 feet (12 bilateral cases) with hallux valgus, surgically treated in our department were followed for a period of minimum twelve months and evaluated. The results showed an improvement of the mean preoperative IMA 14.6°to 7.9° postoperatively and 9.2° at six months after surgery. The preoperative measured HVA was reduced from 28.4to 14.2° at once and 16.1° after six months. The AOFAS hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal score resulted improvement reflects the functional benefits. These results confirm the good correction potential of the technique and support it as avalid treatment option for mild to moderate severity hallux valgus.

“…New techniques using a synthetic suture button construct to re-create the lateral collateral ligament of the first MPJ have been recently described and seem to be a viable alternative to tendon transfer. 15 Arthrodesis remains the mainstay of treatment because it is commonly thought that soft tissue procedures will ultimately fail. However, a systematic review of the literature by Plonavich and colleagues 16 recently found that soft tissue procedures seem to be an acceptable option with predictable results for the first-line treatment of iatrogenic flexible hallux varus.…”

Background The safety and the effects of different trajectories on thumb motion of suture-button suspensionplasty post-trapeziectomy are not known.Methods In a cadaveric model, thumb range of motion, trapeziectomy space height, and distance between the device and nerve to the first dorsal interosseous muscle (first DI) were measured for proximal and distal trajectory groups. Proximal trajectory was defined as a suture button angle directed from the thumb metacarpal to the second metacarpal at a trajectory less than 60°from the horizontal; distal trajectory was defined as a suture button angle directed from the thumb metacarpal to the second metacarpal at a trajectory of greater than 60°from the horizontal (Fig. 1). Results There were no significant differences in range of motion and trapeziectomy space height between both groups. The device was significantly further away from the nerve to the first DI in the proximal trajectory group compared to the distal trajectory group, but was still safely away from the nerve in both groups (greater than 1 cm). Conclusions These results suggest that the device placement in either a proximal or distal location on the second metacarpal will yield similar results regarding safety and thumb range of motion.
