  • Title: Technical tips: Modified resection arthroplasty for correction of rheumatoid forefoot deformity.
    Author: Lui TH.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Surg; 2010 Jun; 16(2):74-7. PubMed ID: 20483138.
    Abstract:
    Forefoot deformity occurs in nearly 90% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Resection arthroplasty of the lesser metatarsophalangeal joints is one of the commonest procedures performed in case of patients failed to respond to conservative treatment. Kirschner wires are used to stabilize the resection arthroplasty sites. We present a modified technique to improve the sagittal plane alignment by bending of the wires dorsally at the site of resection arthroplasty.
