  • Three-dimensional finite element analysis of Swanson prosthesis-arthroplasty of the first metatarsophalangeal joint combined with osteotomy and bone grafting of the first metatarsal bone for hallux valgus

    Objective To analyze the biomechanical changes of hallux valus after Swanson prosthesis-arthroplasty of the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint combined with osteotomy and bone grafting of the 1st metatarsal bone by three-dimensional finite element analysis, so as to provide data basis for studying the changes of foot morphology and physiological function after hallux valus correction surgery. Methods A 65-year-old female patient with severe hallux valus admitted in January 2013 was selected as the research object. The CT data of the right foot was obtained, and the three-dimensional finite element models before and after Swanson prosthesis-arthroplasty of the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint combined with osteotomy and bone grafting of the 1st metatarsal bone were established by Mimics10.01, Geomagic Studio, and ANSYS12.0 software. ANSYS 12.0 software was used for nonlinear static stress analysis, and the hallux valgus angle (HVA), the intermetatarsal angle (IMA), and the von Mises stress distributions of the forefoot plantar surface and the 1st to 5th metatarsal bones were observed before and after operation. ResultsThe HVA and IMA were 56.3° and 16.3° before operation and 9.2° and 9.8° after operation, respectively. Before operation, the stress on the forefoot was the largest in the 4th metatarsal head zone and the smallest in the 1st metatarsal head zone; the stress on the medial side of the forefoot was significantly smaller than that on the lateral side, and the center of forefoot pressure was located on the lateral side. After operation, the stress on the forefoot was the largest in the 1st metatarsal head zone and the smallest in the 5th metatarsal head zone; the stress on the lateral side of the forefoot was significantly smaller than that on the medial side, and the center of forefoot pressure was located on the medial side. Before operation, the stress of the 5th metatarsal bone was the largest, and the 1st metatarsal bone was the smallest. After operation, the stress of the 1st metatarsal bone was the largest, and the 4th metatarsal bone was the smallest. Conclusion Swanson prosthesis-arthroplasty of the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint combined with osteotomy and bone grafting of the 1st metatarsal bone can effectively correct hallux valgus and make HVA, IMA, and plantar pressure distribution close to normal. However, postoperative stresses of the 1st to 5th metatarsal bones elevate, which may lead to associated complications.
