Abstract
Metallic proximal phalangeal hemiarthroplasty has been described for the surgical treatment of moderate to severe hallux rigidus. This long-term follow-up of an extended case series of 37 patients who underwent the index operation demonstrated a high rate (93%) of patient satisfaction, and significant improvement in Foot Function Index scores.
