Background

There is a general assumption amongst many patients – and some Surgeons- that 1. Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis “in neutral plantigrade position” will postoperatively restrict the choice of shoes and heels in particular.

To our knowledge no studies have been carried out to assess this further.

Methods

A review of a single Surgeon's series of 25 patients and Radiographs following neutral 1.MTPJ Arthrodesis after 14 – 38 months follow up to assess the type of shoe and height of heel comfortably worn.
