UNASSIGNED: Arthrofibrosis is a known complication of @entity4553 surgery. Joint manipulation under anesthesia has been studied for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder; however, a paucity of published data exists on the use of this modality in the foot and ankle. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the outcomes of first metatarsophalangeal joint manipulation for arthrofibrosis that occurred as a complication of bunion surgery. The study population consisted of @entity1 attending a single foot and ankle specialty clinic who were evaluated for arthrofibrosis after bunion surgery. @entity1 who underwent joint manipulation under anesthesia were asked to complete a research visit in which a clinical examination was performed and the presence and severity of joint @entity158 were assessed. A total of 38 @entity1 (34 females, 4 males, 53 feet), with a mean age of 55.7      11.8 (range 30 to 83) years, agreed to participate. The mean follow-up period was 6.5      3.4 (range 1 to 17) years. The visual analog scale scores improved significantly from baseline to the final follow-up visit (baseline 6.5      1.5, range 2 to 10; final follow-up visit 2.3      1.5, range 0 to 6; p  <  .001). Furthermore, joint motion had increased significantly (p  <  .001) for both @entity1411 at the final follow-up examination. The final range of motion (dorsiflexion, r  =  -0.431, p  =  .002; plantar flexion, r  =  -0.494, p  <  .001) correlated highly with @entity1 self-reported @entity158 in the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Our findings suggest that joint manipulation could be a useful modality for increasing first metatarsophalangeal joint mobility and alleviating @entity158 in @entity1 who experience arthrofibrosis after surgical correction of @entity4553 .
