Abstract:
Surgical treatments for arthritis in the first metatarsophalangeal joint include arthrodesis, interposition arthroplasty using silicone or meniscus cartilage, and rarely arthroplasty. Although arthrodesis was performed successfully, pain can persist if the angle of fusion was inappropriate. Interposition arthroplasty can be tried for the treatment of persisting pain after the arthrodesis. Interposition arthroplasty using tensor fascia lata is known that has low risk of adhesions and easy to harvest. Compared to autologous grafts, grafting rates is high and low risk of rejection additionally. Herein, we report a successfully managed arthritis with severe pain with interposition arthroplasty using tensor fascia lata after a failed metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis.
