Background: Several surgical procedures have been described to treat hallux rigidus. Keller arthroplasty is a joint-sacrificing procedure proposed in 1904. Considering the current trends to mini-invasiveness and the debate about the technique's suitability, this review intends to state Keller arthroplasty results and the conditions where it could be still adopted in the treatment of hallux rigidus. Methods: Selected articles were reviewed to extract: population data, surgical indications, different surgical techniques, clinical and radiological outcomes, and complications. Results: Seventeen retrospective studies were selected, counting 508 patients. Mean age at surgery was 55 years. Patients were affected by moderate-severe hallux rigidus. Three modified Keller arthroplasty were identified. Good clinical and radiological outcomes were reported. Metatarsalgia was the most frequent complication (12%). Conclusion: Despite for many authors KA seems a viable surgical treatment for middle aged and elderly patients affected by moderate-severe hallux rigidus, the available literature provides little evidence on the real efficacy and safety of the technique. A non-negligible percentage of complications may occur, and therefore is essential to set correct indications through an accurate patients' selection. (c) 2022 European Foot and Ankle Society.

Abstract

Background: Several surgical procedures have been described to treat hallux rigidus. Keller arthroplasty is a joint-sacrificing procedure proposed in 1904. Considering the current trends to mini-invasiveness and the debate about the technique's suitability, this review intends to state Keller arthroplasty results and the conditions where it could be still adopted in the treatment of hallux rigidus. Methods: Selected articles were reviewed to extract: population data, surgical indications, different surgical techniques, clinical and radiological outcomes, and complications. Results: Seventeen retrospective studies were selected, counting 508 patients. Mean age at surgery was 55 years. Patients were affected by moderate-severe hallux rigidus. Three modified Keller arthroplasty were identified. Good clinical and radiological outcomes were reported. Metatarsalgia was the most frequent complication (12%). Conclusion: Despite for many authors KA seems a viable surgical treatment for middle aged and elderly patients affected by moderate-severe hallux rigidus, the available literature provides little evidence on the real efficacy and safety of the technique. A non-negligible percentage of complications may occur, and therefore is essential to set correct indications through an accurate patients' selection. (c) 2022 European Foot and Ankle Society.
