Reconstruction of the First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Following Post-cheilectomy Avascular Necrosis of the First Metatarsal Head: A Case Report

Prospective, Multicenter Evaluation of Allogeneic Bone Matrix Containing Viable Osteogenic Cells in Foot and/or Ankle Arthrodesis

“…An earlier version of CBA was previously shown to be effective for healing foot fracture nonunions and avascular necrosis. 6,35 More specifically, this earlier study demonstrated equivalence to autograft in patient satisfaction and fusion rates 2 and showed favorable safety and effectiveness outcomes in 23 revision foot and ankle surgery procedures. 29 Another version of a CBA demonstrated solid fusion after 3 months of an infected tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis 9 and favorable time to union of 20 high-risk foot and ankle reconstructions.…”

Lineage mapping and characterization of the native progenitor population in cellular allograft

“…There have been however several case studies in foot and ankle surgery (32, 33) as well as case series in trauma, tibial non-unions (34), oral and maxillofacial surgery (35, 36), and retrospective study in lumbar spinal fusion (37) demonstrating varying success. Additional clinical research has been published on the effectiveness of delivering concentrated MSCs from bone marrow describing a correlation between the number of delivered cells and clinical outcome when treating tibial non-unions (38).…”

Arthrodesis and Hemiarthroplasty: Different Techniques in the Treatment of Hallux Rigidus—Surgery and Postoperative Rehabilitation

“…Different techniques have been described for the joint fusion, with one screw, two screws, K wire or clavis. All authors insist on the stability of the synthesis to avoid non-union and pain [11,12,[14][15][16]23]. Arthrodesis is the treatment of choice when there is less than 50% of the metatarsal joint surface in good condition and as a rescue treatment after other techniques [6,8,[13][14][15].…”

“…The aim of the present study is to compare the pros and cons of two different surgical methods widely reported in literature: arthrodesis and hemiarthroplasty [13][14][15][16][17][18].…”
