First MTP Joint Fusion (Locking Plate)

This foot and ankle procedure treats severe arthritis of the joint at the base of the big toe. This is the first metatarsophalangeal joint, commonly called the first "MTP" joint. Arthritis in this joint, known as hallux rigidus, can cause pain and swelling. It can limit your ability to walk, and it can limit the types of shoes you can wear comfortably. During this procedure, a metal plate is implanted to prevent movement of the MTP joint.
