67 year old female with history of silastic great toe arthroplasty in 2001. Now with pain, deformity and
swelling. She has attempted conservative management with shoe modifications, carbon fiber insole,
activity modifications and medications without success.
She opted for removal of her silastic implant with revision to MTPJ arthrodesis. The procedure was
tolerated well and adjuvant hammertoe procedure with gastrocnemius recession was performed as
well.
The patient had 8 weeks of heel weight bearing cast immobilization with transition to a weight bearing
fracture boot until week 12 then transitioned to shoe wear.
At last follow-up one year postoperatively she rated her pain at 0\/10 from 7\/10 preoperatively and was
back to her activities of daily living<\/p>
