Abstract
Polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel synthetic cartilage implants are increasingly used to treat advanced Freiberg disease. We report a case with recurrence of symptoms within 6 weeks and required revision for fracture of the implant. We describe a revision technique with modified osteochondral bone graft to deal with the variables of revision surgery namely: the bone loss, collateral ligament insufficiency, and changes to the proximal phalanx articular surface. We describe a postoperative plan, recovery and a good outcome achieved in 12 month follow-up.
