... Abstract Hallux rigidus is the most common degenerative condition of the foot and ankle and the second most prevalent disease of the first metatarsophalangeal joint after hallux valgus. If left untreated, it can lead to significant limitations in gait, mobility and daily function. Treatment...

... Abstract The first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) sesamoids are two seed-shaped bones that form an integral portion of the hallux metatarsophalangeal joint complex and are subject to several disorders that can severely affect a patient’s function. The sesamoid complex transmits about 50...

... Abstract Hallux rigidus is a degenerative arthritis that affects the metatarsophalangeal joint of the first ray; it produces pain and functional limitation in the mobility of this joint. The Green-Watermann osteotomy is a distal metatarsal osteotomy that allows decompression of the first...

... Abstract Primary fusion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is a commonly performed procedure with good outcomes and high patient satisfaction rate. A variety of fixation techniques and implants have been described over the past decades. Of the different fixation methods, the use of a dorsal...

... Abstract Failed metatarsophalangeal (MTP) 1 fusion, and necrosis of the metatarsal head after osteotomies or former resection arthroplasties can be indications for revision MTP 1 arthrodesis. These often lead to shortening and insufficiency of the first ray, which can cause metatarsalgia due...

The tendon transfer has the objective of replacing the loss of intrinsic muscular function (i.e., flexion at the metatarsophalangeal joint and resistance to extension at the interphalangeal joints), and help to rebalance the deformity, especially deviations in the coronal plane...

... Abstract In recent years, the relevance of the plantar plate in the stability of the lesser metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint has become more generally acknowledged. When the plantar plate is damaged or attenuated, crossover or hammertoe deformity with hyperextension of the MTP joint is frequent...
