Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint for severe bunions and hallux rigidus. 1979

P R Lipscomb

Compression arthrodesis of the first metararsophalangeal joint using a modification of the technique of McKeever is described. This operation consistently produces the best results for hallux valgus and hallux rigidus of the great toe. The operation has been found to be applicable where there have been previous attempts at surgical correction. It also produces good results in patients having rheumatoid arthritis when there is minimal involvement of the interphalangeal joint.
