RESUMEN
First metatarsophalangeal joint implants are used to correct deformity, to restore or improve motion, and to relieve pain. The authors report on a patient with pain in the first metatarsophalangeal joint that was not relieved by multiple first metatarsophalangeal joint surgical procedures. A two-component first metatarsophalangeal joint titanium implant was successfully used as a salvage procedure to relieve pain and restore foot function following a failed first metatarsophalangeal joint fusion.
