Silastic arthroplasty of the first metatarsophalangeal joint should be considered a viable salvage procedure either for cases of previously failed fusion with interpositional tricortical bone grafting, or for cases of painful previous Kellers, as it can restore length back to the toe, power, stability of gait and therefore reduce pain.

Metacarpophalangeal joint arthritis of the index finger is a debilitating disease often caused by osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritides such as rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment options include nonsurgical management with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, splinting, occupational therapy, corticosteroid injections, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Operative management options include arthrodesis and arthroplasty, which can be further broken down into silicone implants and 2 component resurfacing implants.

First metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) arthritis is a very common form of arthritis seen in the foot. Some signs and symptoms include pain, swelling, decreased passive and active range of motion, difficulty with shoe gear, and so forth. Surgically, options for alleviating symptomatic hallux limitus and arthritis fall into two broad categories: joint sparing and joint sacrificing.

We treated six patients with the combination of anterograde distal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis and Swanson prothesis proximal interphalangeal joint arthroplasty on the same finger. The results showed both bony union and flexibility, without cases of nail deformity, wound complications, tip hypersensitivity or malalignment.

Aim Osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) is a common forefoot problem affecting patients in later years. It leads to pain, gait problems, and difficulty with activities of daily living. Treatment is controversial and varies according to patient symptoms and surgeon preference.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Osteoarthritis of the hand can lead to pain, stiffness, and deformation, and thus to functional disability. The purpose of this study was to compare short-term clinical outcomes of 2 silicone proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint implants, NeuFlex and Integra, in patients with primary osteoarthritis.
Methods: We included 72 PIP joints, of which 40 were replaced by a NeuFlex implant and 32 by an Integra implant.
