Abstract:
Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) is a valuable intervention for a variety of hallux pathologies and is still considered the gold standard treatment for advanced hallux rigidus, one of the most commonly encountered pathologies of the forefoot. With the advent and expansion of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques, MIS First MTPJ arthrodesis offers a new approach to treat hallux conditions with the potential to limit complications and further enhance patient satisfaction. We describe a technique that affords the benefits of MIS surgery without compromising the biomechanical superiority of a dorsal hybrid low-profile plate with a beveled, partially threaded compression screw.Level of Evidence: Therapeutic, Level V: Technique article.
