First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Degeneration: Arthroscopic Treatment

Timo Schmid et al. Foot Ankle Clin. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

Arthroscopic treatment of hallux rigidus is appropriate after failed nonoperative treatment. Debridement with cheilectomy, and fusion are the main indications for arthroscopic treatment of hallux rigidus. If the cartilage damage is extensive and the patient has consented, then a fusion is performed at the same sitting.

Keywords: Arthroscopic debridement; Arthroscopic fusion; First metatarsophalangeal degeneration; Hallux rigidus.
