  • Title: Hemi-implants in foot surgery.
    Author: Dobbs BM.
    Journal: Clin Podiatry; 1984 Apr; 1(1):79-87. PubMed ID: 6536386.
    Abstract:
    Hemi-implants, when first marketed, seemed the answer for a shortened nonfunctional hallux that sometimes followed a Keller bunionectomy. Then a few years later, with the use of the total implant, the hemi- plant was all but forgotten. It is the author's opinion that there are still many situations in which the hemi-implant has advantages over a Keller bunionectomy or total implant.
