Hallux rigidus is a degenerative condition of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) of the great toe, which can result in significant pain and stiffness. Treatment using joint replacement, either by means of hemiarthroplasty or total arthroplasty of the metatarsophalangeal joint is becoming an increasingly popular option for patients with severe disease. To evaluate mid-term functional and radiological outcomes of a widely used first generation resurfacing arthroplasty system in the treatment of hallux rigidus.Background

Until recently, surgical treatments for advanced ankle osteoarthritis have been limited to arthrodesis or ankle replacement. Supramalleolar osteotomy provides a joint-preserving option for patients with eccentric osteoarthritis of the ankle, particularly those with varus or valgus malalignment. To evaluate radiological and functional outcomes of patients undergoing shortening supramalleolar osteotomy for eccentric (varus or valgus) osteoarthritis of the ankle.Background
