Orthopedic Department, U, Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Resection arthroplasty of the forefoot was performed in 30 patients (48 feet) with rheumatoid arthritis. A Keller/Clayton procedure yielded good results, whereas a less radical operation (Hybbinette) created poor results. Reoperation following failed Hybbinette operations was possible.
