Abstract
The author describes a new surgical alternative for correction of hallux limitus and rigidus deformities. It is generally accepted that joint implantation is contraindicated in young adults and athletes who engage in aggressive weightbearing activities. The tendon interpositional arthroplasty procedures presented in this paper provide the foot and ankle surgeon with an alternative surgical approach for correction of this painful clinical condition.
