| Popis: |
Hammertoe is a very common lesser toe deformity and accounts for 34% of all foot and ankle conditions in older adults [1]. Classically hammertoe surgery includes resection of the proximal interphalangeal joint [2]. Coughlin and others have shown that either a rigid or fibrous union does not have an effect on clinical outcome [2]. Many different fixation techniques are available ranging from a simple Kirschner wire to a wide variety of implants. |
