Using the concept of an implant acting as a spacer and stabilizer, the proposed study will evaluate the use of allograft knee meniscus in the treatment of MTP joint osteoarthritis of the great toe.
A variety of surgical procedures have been developed for the treatment of MTP joint osteoarthritis of the great toe. Using the concept of an implant acting as a spacer and stabilizer, the proposed study will evaluate the use of allograft knee meniscus in the treatment of MTP joint osteoarthritis of the great toe. Patients will be evaluated for pain and range of motion at 3-months, 6-months, 1-year, 2-years, 3-years, 4-years, and 5-years postoperatively or until allograft failure. Stability of the allograft will be evaluated by the surgeon at these time points per radiographic imaging.
