Long-term experience with total joint prosthetic replacement for the arthritic great toe.

A report on the use of 130 double-stemmed flexible hinge silicone elastomer implants as total joint replacements for the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint of the great toe in 98 patients since 1971. Of the total number of patients involved, 11 were men and 87 were women; the average age per joint was 57 years. The report is based on a minimum follow-up of 12 months, an average follow-up of 9.4 years, and a maximum follow-up of 16 years. Seven patients (10 joints) were lost to follow-up. In the 57 patients with osteoarthritis, 81 joints were replaced; in the 30 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 37 joints were replaced. Five patients were revised from a failed excisional hemiarthroplasty, and four patients (with five joints involved) were revised from a failed silicone implant hemiarthroplasty. Two patients had a surgically arthrodesed MTP joint taken down and revised to a total joint arthroplasty. The results were graded excellent, good, fair, or poor based on relief of pain and cosmesis. The overall results were good. On the basis of these findings, the author concludes that there is a place for total joint prosthetic replacement with this device in the surgical reconstruction of the painful, destroyed MTP joint of the great toe.

Total joint prosthetic arthroplasty of the great toe--a 12-year experience.

This report describes the use of a double-stemmed flexible hinge silicone elastomer implant for use as a total joint replacement for the metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe. Experience with this prosthesis has been since 1971 with 103 prostheses implanted in 71 patients with a minimum follow-up of 12 months and an average follow-up of 7.4 years. Of the 71 patients, 40 had osteoarthritis with 64 joints replaced, 22 had rheumatoid arthritis with 29 joints replaced, four patients were revised from a failed excisional hemiarthroplasty, three patients with four joints involved were revised from a failed silicone implant hemiarthroplasty, and two patients had a surgically arthrodesed metatarsophalangeal joint taken down and revised to a total joint arthroplasty. Of the total number of patients involved, eight were men, 63 were women, and the average age per joint was 56 years. The results were graded as excellent, good, fair, and poor on two bases: relief of pain and the cosmetic result. Overall results were good. On the basis of these results over a 12-year period, it was concluded that there is a place for total joint prosthetic replacement in the surgical reconstruction of the painful, destroyed metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe.

Total joint replacement in bunion surgery.

A preliminary report is given for total joint replacement arthroplasty utilizing a silicone-polyester prosthesis, in selected cases of destroyed metatarsophalangeal joints of the great toe. Fifty-three prostheses were implanted over a period from March 1971 to March 1977, with a minimum follow-up of one year. Overall results were good from the standpoint of pain relief and cosmetic correction, in severely destroyed and deformed joints. The essential aspects for successful prosthetic arthroplasty include proper seating of the prosthesis and complete realignment of the first ray, paralleling the adjacent metatarsals. On the basis of these preliminary results, it is concluded that there is a place for total joint prosthetic replacement in the surgical reconstruction of the painful, destroyed metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe.

Intra-articular rheumatoid nodule of the knee joint.

A 44-year-old woman with a long-standing history of classical rheumatoid arthritis had an intra-articular rheumatoid nodule of the knee joint. The history, symptoms, and signs of this case were, however, almost identical to those cases previously reported. This entity has a classic presentation and distinct findings on examination which distinguish it from other intra-articular lesions of the knee.
