Q

What is the Mcbride procedure based on your Podiatric Medicine book?

A

Mcbride resected the adductor hallucis tendon at its insertion to the proximal phalanx and the fibular sesamoid. The tendon was then dissected free back to the level of its muscle belly. The fibular sesamoid was then excised (he emphasized that the most difficult part of removing the sesamoid was freeing the bone from the intermetatarsal ligament). He then resected the exostosis from the head of the metatarsal. If there was still capsular contracture, Mcbride made a small stab incision into the taut lateral capsule. He thaught it was absolutly necessary to have no remaining contractures that could keep the hallux in valgus position. The adductor hallucis tendon was then transplanted to the shaft of the first metatarsal and sutured into the periosteium. The purpose of this transfer, according to McBride, was that it no longer had any leverage pull on the digit, and its new location, when contracted would bring the first and second metatarsal toegther.
