Abstract

Background: Surgical treatment for Freiberg disease (also known as avascular necrosis of the metatarsal head) has not been completely defined. This retrospective study evaluated short-term outcomes after arthroscopic treatment of Freiberg disease. Methods: From 2015 to 2019, 13 patients (15 feet) diagnosed as having Freiberg disease were enrolled for arthroscopic surgery. Feet were divided based on the Smillie classification system (two with stage I, eight with stage II, three with stage III, one with stage IV, and one with stage V). Arthroscopic interventions, including synovectomy, debridement, chondroplasty, microfracture, and loose body removal, were performed without considering the Smillie classification stage. Radiologic outcomes were evaluated by radiography (preoperatively and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively) and magnetic resonance imaging (preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively). Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) lesser metatarsophalangeal (MTP)–interphalangeal score and the visual analog scale (VAS) score. The MTP joint range of motion was measured using a goniometer preoperatively and postoperatively. Results: Radiologic studies showed no evidence of osteonecrosis progression in postoperative 12-month radiographs of any patients. Postoperative 12-month magnetic resonance images showed reduction of bone marrow edema, irregularity of subchondral bone, and cartilage defects in all patients. Significant improvements in AOFAS and VAS scores occurred at all postoperative time points compared with preoperative scores (P = .001). The MTP joint range of motion also showed improvement at last follow-up (P = .001). Conclusions: Arthroscopic surgery for Freiberg disease showed excellent clinical outcomes, MTP joint range of motion, and short-term outcomes regardless of stage (Smillie classification) in radiologic evaluation.
