Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint was performed in eleven patients (sixteen feet) after a Keller procedure had failed. Multiple intramedullary threaded Steinmann pins were used to fix the bone at the site of the arthrodesis, and a successful arthrodesis was achieved in each patient. Interposition of a graft of bone from the iliac crest was done in four feet with an excessively short hallux. Lateral metatarsalgia that was due to intractable keratoses on the plantar part of the foot was relieved in eleven (92 per cent) of the twelve feet that had it preoperatively. Cock-up deformity of the hallux was also improved. Residual stiffness of the interphalangeal joints, which was a major preoperative problem, was not improved. Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is a useful procedure to salvage a failed result of the Keller procedure.

Background Severe osteoarthritis (OA) of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) is usually treated by arthrodesis, which results in a loss of mobility in the joint. Cartiva (Stryker Corporation, Kalamazoo, USA) is a synthetic cartilage implant (SCI) designed to repair osteochondral defects in the treatment of the first MTP OA. Treatment using the Cartiva SCI should relieve symptoms of OA whilst sparing motion in the first MTPJ and may provide a superior alternative to arthrodesis.

Background: Hallux valgus correction is mostly done by metatarsal procedures, and widely accepted strategy is to decide which surgical method should be used is based on radiological severity using intermetatarsal (IMA) and hallux valgus (HVA) angles (classical angular correction approach-CACA). The aim of the study is to compare the postoperative improvement in radiographic parameters and morphologic appearance of the foot between patients operated with and without adhering to CACA strategy based on classical severity classification using angle measurements.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective comparative study between two groups (conforming and not conforming to proposed algorithm) was performed.

The literature has established that the first metatarsal-phalangeal joint arthrodesis procedure will provide some correction of the first intermetatarsal and hallux valgus angles. But while this has previously primarily been investigated as a simple association (i.e.

Arthrodesis is a common procedure in the treatment of forefoot conditions affecting the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. Although this procedure has been shown to significantly improve individuals' activities of daily living and effectively relieve pain, there is a lack of research specifically investigating younger patients below 60 yrs of age wishing to return to sports. Our aim is to evaluate their ability to return to sports after 1st MTP joint arthrodesis.

Purpose: Arthrodesis of the first ray metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) is the gold standard in iatrogenic hallux varus (IHV) in the presence of stiffness and osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study is to collect clinical and radiographic results and complications of MPJ arthrodesis in rigid iatrogenic HV.
Methods: A retrospective evaluation of rigid iatrogenic HV undergoing arthrodesis with a minimum follow-up (FU) of two years was performed.
