Özet:

 Background and Purpose: Arthrosis of the first MTP joint is a common condition. Among the available arthrodesis methods, platescrew and screw methods are the current treatment methods of choice. In this study, we investigate whether there is a difference between these two methods. Methods: Thirty-four toes of 32 patients with advanced arthrosis were included in the study. Eighteen toes were fixed with platesscrews and 16 with cross-screws. In the radiological evaluations, malunion and nonunion were examined. Clinical evaluation was made according to AOFAS-HMI scoring. Results: The mean age of the patients was 57.74 years and the mean follow-up period was 22.21 months. There was no statistically significant difference in clinical scores or union times between the two groups. As complications, superficial skin problems developed in 2 5.9 cases, deep infection in 3 8.8 cases, and nonunion in 3 8.8 cases. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in this regard. Conclusion: Platescrew and cross-screw techniques give similar clinical and radiological results in cases of arthrodesis of the first MTP joint. The cross-screw technique, which can be performed more easily and has lower costs, should be the first choice.
