Abstract

A retrospective analysis was done on 20 cases of interphalangeal joint fusion of the great toe utilizing longitudinal cortical screw fixation. The purpose of this study was to present a series of interphalangeal joint fusion great toe done in both paediatric and adult patients using 3.5mm cortical screws. Most of the patients had interphalangeal joint fusion along with Jones transfer and other associated procedures with a mean follow up period of 19 months. Arthrodesis was successfully achieved in all the patients. No one had pain at the interphalangeal joint of the great toe. A literature review on interphalangeal joint arthrodesis was done and advantages of cortical screw fixation over other techniques have also been presented.
