    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallux_rigidus

    Another example of MTP joint implant is "Roto-glide" which is designed to restore optimum anatomical movement whilst preserving as much primary bone stock as possible. [7] [8] Cartilage replacement may be the first step before considering Fusion ( Arthrodesis- stiff toe joint) or arthroplasty.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metatarsophalangeal_joints

    The metatarsophalangeal joints (MTP joints) are the joints between the metatarsal bones of the foot and the proximal bones (proximal phalanges) of the toes. They are analogous to the knuckles of the hand , and are consequently known as toe knuckles in common speech.

  4. Collateral ligaments of metatarsophalangeal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateral_ligaments_of...

    The collateral ligaments of metatarsophalangeal joints are strong, rounded cords, placed one on either side of each joint, and attached, by one end, to the posterior tubercle on the side of the head of the metatarsal bone, and, by the other, to the contiguous extremity of the phalanx.

  5. Plantar plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_plate

    The MTP joint of the first toe differs from those of the other toes in that other muscles act on the joint, and in the presence of two sesamoid bones. The plantar plate is firm but flexible fibrocartilage with a composition similar to that found in the menisci of the knee (composed roughly of 75% type-I collagen ), and can thus withstand ...

  6. First metatarsal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_metatarsal_bone

    The first metatarsal articulates (forms joints) with the medial cuneiform and to a small extent with the intermediate cuneiform bone. [2] Its proximal articular surface is large and kidney -shaped; its circumference is grooved, for the tarsometatarsal ligaments , and medially gives insertion to part of the tendon of the tibialis anterior .

    [1] [3] Joint replacement surgery may be an option if there is ongoing disability despite other treatments. [2] An artificial joint typically lasts 10 to 15 years. [11] Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting about 237 million people or 3.3% of the world's population, as of 2015. [4] [12] It becomes more common as people ...

  8. Arthroplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthroplasty

    Arthroplasty (literally "[re-]forming of joint") is an orthopedic surgical procedure where the articular surface of a musculoskeletal joint is replaced, remodeled, or realigned by osteotomy or some other procedure. It is an elective procedure that is done to relieve pain and restore function to the joint after damage by arthritis or some other ...

  9. Intermetatarsal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermetatarsal_joints

    The intermetatarsal joints are the articulations between the base of metatarsal bones.. The base of the first metatarsal is not connected with that of the second by any ligaments; in this respect the great toe resembles the thumb.
