Minimally Invasive Hammertoe Deformity Correction

Arthrex presents a minimally invasive approach to hammertoe to correct hammertoe deformities. Initially, a small transverse incision is made over the pip joint. The two millimeter by eight millimeter burr is inserted into the Pip joint and used in a sweeping motion to prepare the head of the proximal phalanx and base of the middle phalanx for fusion. Next, a 0.86mm K-wires is inserted into the central portion of the proximal phalanx, and a 2.0mm cannulated drill is used to drill into the proximal phalanx. Both the drill and wire are removed. The 0.86mm wire is then advanced into the middle phalanx and out of the distal phalanx. The 2.0mm cannulated drill is used to drill through both the middle and distal phalanx. Next, the K-wires is retracted into the middle phalanx. The toe is straightened into a corrected position, and the K-wires is advanced back into the proximal phalanx. While using your non-dominant hand to maintain the desired orientation of the toe insert. A 2.5mm compression screw to complete the correction. When fuzing the pip joint, only the typical screw length ranges from 24 to 34mm, and can be confirmed by using fluoroscopy and superimposing a compression screw over the top of the pip joint. When opting to fuze the pip and dip joints, it is critical to remain central in the distal phalanx when implanting hardware to avoid post-operative irritation. Typical screw lengths range from 30 to 40mm and can be confirmed using the Cannulated depth gauge.
