This study evaluated revisional arthroplasty using the Biomet Total Toe System in 10 cases of failed silicone implants. The procedure aims to relieve pain and restore function in the metatarsophalangeal joint.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Silicone elastomer implants for metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty can fail, leading to pain and functional deficits.
  • Revisional surgery is necessary to address implant failure and restore joint function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the Biomet Total Toe System in revisional arthroplasty for failed metatarsophalangeal joint silicone implants.
  • To assess the outcomes of pain elimination and function restoration after revision.

Main Methods:

  • A 3-year retrospective study of 10 cases undergoing revisional arthroplasty.
  • Utilized the Biomet Total Toe System for revision procedures.
  • Focused on cases with prior metatarsophalangeal joint silicone elastomer implant failure.

Main Results:

  • The study included 10 cases requiring revision due to failed silicone elastomer implants.
  • The Biomet Total Toe System was employed as the chosen method for revision.
  • The primary goals were pain reduction and functional improvement of the metatarsophalangeal joint.

Conclusions:

  • Revisional arthroplasty using the Biomet Total Toe System can be a viable option for patients with failed metatarsophalangeal joint silicone implants.
  • Surgeons must possess thorough familiarity with the Biomet Total Toe System prior to undertaking revision procedures.
  • Successful outcomes depend on addressing pain and restoring function post-implant failure.
