Finite Element Analysis for First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis Demonstrates Reduction in Stress Across Bio-Integrative Fixation Over Traditional Metal Fixation

CATEGORY: Midfoot/Forefoot; Bunion INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE: During each step-in gait, the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) is stressed by 90% of body weight, while loading the metatarsal head and base with up to 29% (228N/80Kg patient) of body weight (188N) during each foot push-off. To withstand...
