Category:Midfoot/ForefootIntroduction/Purpose:First metatarso-phalangeal joint arthrodesis is a common procedure for the treatment of end stage hallux rigidus and other conditions like severe hallux valgus deformity, hallux varus and advanced degenerative disease in association to inflammatory arthropathy. Successful fusions provide pain relief, adequate stability for the first ray during gait at the expense of sacrificing motion.Reported fusion rates range between 90 and 100% (Womack JW 2009). The time to fusion has shown more variability, with reported percentages of fusion ranging between 74 and 92% at 6 weeks (al. 2010).Hallux rigidus is a common arthritic condition affecting the first Metatarso-phalangeal joint. The progressive degenerative changes and limited motion lead to increasing pain and compromise of daily activities. Treatment includes non-surgical measures like NSAIDS, injections, shoe wear and activity modifications. Surgical options include Cheilectomy and proximal phalanx dorsiflexion os...
