The minimally invasive first metatarsophalangeal fusion is a surgical technique designed to address severe arthritis, deformities, or instability in the big toe joint. Unlike traditional open surgery, this approach utilizes small incisions and specialized instruments to remove damaged joint surfaces and fuse the bones, promoting stability and pain relief. The procedure preserves soft tissue, minimizes disruption, and reduces risks of infection and scarring. Patients benefit from faster recovery times, less post-operative pain, and earlier return-to-activity. Ideal for conditions like hallux rigidus or severe bunions, it offers a precise, effective solution to restore function and improve quality-of-life. Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
