Abstract:
The minimally invasive first metatarsophalangeal fusion is a surgical technique designed to address severe arthritis, deformities, or instability in the big toe joint. Unlike traditional open surgery, this approach utilizes small incisions and specialized instruments to remove damaged joint surfaces and fuse the bones, promoting stability and pain relief. The procedure preserves soft tissue, minimizes disruption, and reduces risks of infection and scarring. Patients benefit from faster recovery times, less post-operative pain, and earlier return-to-activity. Ideal for conditions like hallux rigidus or severe bunions, it offers a precise, effective solution to restore function and improve quality-of-life.

Joints
Structural joint classifications are based on the material that makes up the joint as well as whether or not the joint contains a space between the bones. Joints are structurally classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
