    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Podiatric surgery

    Background:

    • The hallux (big toe) can become shortened and nonfunctional after a Keller bunionectomy.
    • Hemi-implants were initially developed to address this complication.
    • Total implants later became more prevalent, overshadowing hemi-implants.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To re-evaluate the clinical utility of hemi-implants for hallux reconstruction.
    • To compare the advantages of hemi-implants against Keller bunionectomy and total implants.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and clinical opinion synthesis.
    • Analysis of historical and current surgical techniques for hallux reconstruction.

    Main Results:

    • Hemi-implants provide a valuable alternative in specific cases of hallux shortening.

  • The author posits that hemi-implants are advantageous in certain situations where total implants or revision bunionectomy might be considered.

    • Conclusions:

    • Hemi-implants retain a significant role in orthopedic and podiatric surgery for hallux reconstruction.
    • The choice of implant should be tailored to individual patient needs and specific surgical indications.
