• Resumen

  • The first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint is a frequent diseased-affected articulation encountered by the foot and ankle surgeon. Arthroplasty remains a favorable option for surgeons, because it preserves motion of the joint. The authors' focus at the Weil Foot and Ankle Institute has been on using double-stem silicone implants with titanium grommets, which may be a viable solution for affected articulations. The authors present their clinical results from over 30 years of experience with total first MTP joint implant arthroplasty at the Weil Foot and Ankle Institute.
