Patients with late stage big toe arthritis (hallux limitus or hallux rigidus) that are exploring surgical options are often unsure if a fusion or implant is best for them. Dr. Bob weighs in...
If you have very bad, late stage arthritis and your don't care about wearing high heels, we would suggest a joint fusion. A fusion should last your entire life with no need for revision surgery.
For those patients that want to keep motion in their toe, we have had great success with the Arthrosurface implant. It is incredibly strong and allows us to really dial in the amount of treatment, correction and surgery. Additionally there is very minimal bone removal making future fusion possible, if necessary.
Arthrosurface implant recovery: patients are allowed to immediate weight bear, moved into a shoe within five days and back to full activity within two weeks.
