Abstract

This case report describes a unique solution to the complex problem of bone loss and first-ray instability after a failed Keller arthroplasty. The patient was a 65-year-old woman who presented 5 years after undergoing Keller arthroplasty of the left first metatarsophalangeal joint for hallux rigidus with a chief complaint of pain and inability to wear regular shoes. The patient underwent first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis with diaphyseal fibula used as structural autograft. The patient has been followed for 5 years and has full resolution of previous symptoms without complications using this previously undescribed autograft harvest site.
