Severe arthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint can be challenging to treat. Currently, the most commonly performed surgical procedure to address this condition is arthrodesis. Since it was first described by Broca in 1852, numerous methods for achieving joint fusion have been detailed. Reported union rates have ranged from 77% to 100%, with a mean rate of approximately 90%. Steven M. Raikin, MD of the Rothman Institute presents his surgical technique for arthrodesis in this JBJS video supplement to his article.
