Surgical treatment of Hallux rigidus

The long-term results of treatment of 28 patients with Hallux rigidus performed by Schede-Brandes surgery and endoprosthetics of the 1-st metatarsophalangeal joint have been analyzed. Schede-Brandes surgery has been established to decrease the pain syndrome, but it does not increase the range of movements in the 1-st metatarsophalangeal joint. The results of the 1-st metatarsophalangeal joint endoprosthetics for Hallus rigidus can be considered as good.
