Description

For non-infection cases, first metatarsal phalangeal joint arthrodesis is a definitive procedure for painful, arthritic joints.

Standard fixation methods include screws, plates, staples, or a combination of the three.

For complex septic joint cases, an alternative method of fixation is needed to reduce the risk of infection retention.
