These authors hypothesized that the use of a headless intramedullary screw across both the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) and distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) would decrease many post-surgical complications, such as infection, pain, and mallet toe deformity, found in traditional HT corrective surgical techniques. In this retrospective cohort study, N = 163 adult patients who had undergone DIPJ\/PIPJ arthrodesis for HT correction at least 1 year prior to the study were identified. One hundred fifty-nine patients were contacted through REDCap to complete Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) physical function (PF) and pain interference (PI). Demographic, radiographic, and follow-up data were taken from the electronic medical record (EMR). Analysis was completed with Microsoft Excel; PROMIS PF and PI measures for the 32-person cohort were 45.65 \u00b1 8.26 and 51.65 \u00b1 9.01, respectively. The PF and PI measures had a statistically significant correlation (R\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 0.71). The 163-person cohort had an overall revision rate of 6.75%, or 11 patients, and an infection rate of 1.23%. This procedure had lower rates of residual pain, infection, mallet toe deformity, and reoperation when compared with current techniques. This study supports the safety and viability of PIPJ\/DIPJ arthrodesis using a headless screw for HT correction.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Levels of Evidence:\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Level III Retrospective Cohort Study<\/jats:italic>\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/19386400231208518","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,9]],"date-time":"2023-11-09T06:29:21Z","timestamp":1699511361000},"page":"565-572","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Measures for Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Arthrodesis in Lesser Toe Deformities"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6636-5000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hannah R.","family":"Martin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1023-6407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anish R.","family":"Kadakia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois"},{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7547\/0980194"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00325481.1984.11698001"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fcl.2011.08.010"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fcl.2012.07.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cpm.2011.07.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110070002100202"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0891-8422(23)00797-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","first-page":"649","article-title":"Operation for the correction of hammertoe","volume":"41","author":"Soule R","year":"1910","unstructured":"Soule R.
