Immediate Weight Bearing Following 1st Metatarsal Phalangeal Joint Arthrodesis with 2 Nickel Titanium Alloy Staples

Posted on: 01 September, 2023

The aim of this study is to determine whether the use of 2 nickel-titanium alloy (NITINOL) staples, placed at 90 degrees to one another is a stable enough construct to support full, immediate weight bearing following 1st MTPJ arthrodesis.
