Abstract
Synovitis of the interphalangeal joint of the great toe can occur in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, seronegative arthritides, or gouty arthritis or after a penetrating injury to the joint. Complete synovectomy of the joint usually requires a lengthy incision and extensive soft-tissue dissection. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the surgical details of arthroscopic synovectomy of the hallucal interphalangeal joint, which can reduce the surgical trauma.
