Abstrakt: This article discusses a study on the use of interpositional arthroplasty as an alternative for the treatment of advanced hallux rigidus. The authors reference some studies on the technique which involved resection of the base of the proximal phalanx base with the interpositioning of medial capsular tissue. They discuss the advantages of the use of soft-tissue interpositional arthroplasty over implant arthroplasty, resection arthroplasty and arthrodesis.
