    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Foot and ankle reconstruction
    • Surgical techniques

    Background:

    • Traditional hallux interphalangeal joint fusion methods include cancellous bone screws and crossed Kirschner wires.
    • These methods are effective for standard fusions but may be inadequate for complex cases.

    Observation:

    • Simultaneous total first metatarsophalangeal joint implant arthroplasty presents challenges for traditional fusion techniques.
    • A modified approach is needed to address these complex surgical scenarios.

    Findings:

    • A new surgical technique for hallux interphalangeal joint fusion utilizing the Micks' external fixator is presented.
    • This method offers an alternative for cases requiring concurrent metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty.

    Implications:

    • The Micks' external fixator technique provides a viable option for complex hallux fusions.
    • This innovation may improve outcomes in patients needing combined procedures, enhancing surgical versatility.
