Abstract
The authors present a new alternative to the problem of hallux limitus/rigidus deformity. The new Bioaction great toe implant (Orthopaedic Biosystems, LTD, Scottsdale, Arizona) appears to be superior to the popular hinged implant, since it is comprised of two separate components and therefore appears to be more resilient to implant breakage/failure. This manuscript will examine the etiologic factors contributing to this deformity, a brief retrospective review of traditional surgical treatment and a case presentation utilizing the Bioaction great toe implant.
