Problems of Surgical Treatment of Hammer Toes (Review of Literature)
https://doi.org/10.29413/ABS.2020-5.6.30
Abstract
Introduction. The urgency of the problem of surgical treatment of hammer-like deformity of the toes is due to the incidence of pathology, the presence of unsatisfactory results and postoperative complications.
Objective. Analysis of scientific literature devoted to the problems of surgical treatment of hammer deformities of the toes.
Materials. Analyzed domestic and foreign scientific publications on the classification and surgical treatment of hammer toes.
Results. The article presents an analysis of the classifications of hammer-like deformity of the toes and instability of the metatarsophalangeal joints and an analysis of treatment methods aimed at eliminating various manifestations of deformity, with a description of the complications that have arisen. The systematization of methods for correcting hammer-like deformity of the toes was carried out.
Conclusion. Analysis of the literature data allowed us to determine that the problems of treating hammer-like deformity of the toes are associated with the lack of a classification that would reflect the condition of the forefoot of each individual patient and allow choosing the optimal effective methods of treatment, as well as an algorithm for choosing tactics for surgical treatment of hammer-like deformity, which systematizes the methods treatment depending on the manifestations of deformity of the entire forefoot.
