Great Toe Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthroscopy: Simple Technique for Painful Nonunion.

ABSTRACT: Great toe metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthroscopy was first described as a viable technique for a multitude of first MTPJ pathologies in the early 1970s; however, with improving arthroscopic technique and technology, these indications will continue to expand. Arthroscopy of the first MTPJ has increasingly become a new pursuit for foot and ankle specialists. Therefore, we have proposed a simple technique and illustration from our operating room setup to traction and to our procedural technique to make great toe arthroscopy simple and reproducible for arthroscopic foot and ankle surgeons.
