Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the treatment options for Hallux Rigidus, specifically comparing MTP (metatarsophalangeal) implant procedures to fusion. The speaker acknowledges the AOFAS staff for their support and has no disclosures related to the presentation. They present a case of a 55-year-old patient with grade 3 Hallux Rigidus and discuss various treatment options such as chilectomy, fusion, and MTP implant devices. The speaker emphasizes the importance of diagnostic findings, including the presence of motion and pain with mid-range of motion, in determining the appropriate treatment approach. They discuss the success rates and benefits of fusion procedures, including improved weight-bearing and decreased lateral foot pain. The speaker also explores the synthetic cartilage replacement implant, highlighting its potential as an alternative to fusion for patients desiring motion preservation. They discuss relevant studies and patient selection criteria. Ultimately, the speaker concludes that both fusion and synthetic implants can be successful in the treatment of Hallux Rigidus, but careful patient selection is crucial for optimal outcomes.
