Background

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.

Aim

To evaluate mid-term functional and radiological outcomes of a widely used first generation resurfacing arthroplasty system in the treatment of hallux rigidus.
