Joint resurfacing for bunions and painful arthritis of the big toe joint.
Painful arthritis of the big toe joint will cause stiffness and thickening of the joint. In the past the surgical options for this condition have been limited with fusion of the joint being the most commonly performed operation. But no one wants a stiff big toe anymore than they want a stiff hip joint or knee. Joint resurfacing has changed everything in the management of arthritis of the big toe joint. Now instead of the joint being simply cut out leaving a short floppy toe or fused with screws, a synthetic cartilage replacement can be placed over the joint surface restoring a pain free range of motion to the joint.
