Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Biomedical engineering

Background:

Hammertoes of the lesser digits are a common foot deformity.
Current treatments may have limitations in restoring full function or cause complications.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of a double-stemmed hinged implant with arthroplasty for hammertoe correction.
To assess the impact on active toe mobility and bone response.

Main Methods:

Surgical implantation of a double-stemmed hinged device.
Combined use with arthroplasty for hammertoe correction.
Post-operative assessment of toe mobility and bone tissue.

Main Results:

The double-stemmed hinged implant demonstrated significant advantages in correcting hammertoes.

Related Experiment Videos

Active toe mobility was successfully achieved in patients.

No adverse bone reactions were observed following implant use.

Conclusions:

The double-stemmed hinged implant is a beneficial tool for hammertoe correction.
This method supports functional recovery and avoids bone-related complications.
It represents a viable option for improving lesser digit deformities.
