Popis: Arthrodesis was initially indicated for severe hallux valgus and hallux rigidus. Today, it is primarily a salvage procedure, which provides a painless first metatarsophalangeal joint. This manuscript reviews the various procedures for arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. A case report is presented utilizing arthrodesis as a salvage procedure for a painful first metatarsophalangeal joint, after previously failed procedures.
