This case presents a known complication of particulate synovitis granuloma associated with a first metatarsophalangeal joint silastic implant. However, the degree of soft tissue granuloma enlargement is quite unique in size and its proliferative effect-invading the medulla cavity and infiltrating the outer cortex of bone. This case study aims to demonstrate its clinical presentation, imaging investigations, surgical excision and histopathology findings. The learning points emphasised within this manuscript draw attention to the procedure selection for a silastic implant, as well as its proposed mode of action and various potential associated complications. Surgery was based on careful analysis of overall function, prior surgery conducted and patient expectations to achieve a shared decision-making process.
