Abstract
We report a case of Jaccoud's arthropathy with forefoot plantar callosity. The lesser toe metatarsal heads were resected and Swanson's double-stemmed flexible-hinge implant arthroplasty of the first metatarsophalangeal joint was performed. An osteolytic defect had formed around the implant after 2 years. Surgical revision comprised implant removal and synovectomy. Histology revealed a foreign-body reaction with birefringent material in multinucleated giant cells. Because the capsuloligamentous system is fragile in Jaccoud's arthropathy, we recommend resection arthroplasty or arthrodesis of the first MP joint as an initial operative approach.Entities:
