This video demonstrates a fusion of the big toe interphalangeal joint. The patient wanted both to straighten and shorten her big toe due to problems fitting in shoes and toenail pain from the pressure.

Other procedures were performed to correct other digital deformities as seen with the additional incisions.

After the incision and joint surface resection, the permanent corrected position was fixated with a 4.0 cannulated screw made by Flower Orthopedics: http://www.flowerortho.com/root-website/products/cannulated-screws.html

The patient was non weight bearing for 4-6 weeks, then back in her shoe by 8 weeks!
