Die Arthrodese des MTP-I-Gelenks zur Behandlung des Hallux rigidus

ConclusionsBesides other surgical procedures such as a cheilectomy or artificial arthroplasties, e.g. Cartiva, MTP-I-arthrodesis continues to be the gold standard therapy for hallux rigidus in advanced stages. It represents a safe and simple surgical therapy option and, according to current literature, has the highest degree of evidence (grade B). In addition, MTP-I arthrodesis is a proven salvage procedure after failed arthroplasties and hallux valgus corrections.
