A novel pyrolytic carbon implant for hallux rigidus: A cadaveric study

Publication year: 2011 Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 182-185 Thomas Apard, Charles Casin, Elie Moubarak, Pascal Bizot BackgroundThe aim of this cadaveric study was to assess the technical feasibility of inserting a novel interpositional pyrolytic carbon coated implant in the first MTP joint, determine the best surgical procedure for the implantation, and evaluate the dynamic behavior of the joint after surgery.MethodsThe marble implant was inserted in the first metatarsophalangeal joint of five pairs of cadaveric feet using two different surgical approaches, dorsal and medial, for each pair. The stability and mobility of the feet before and after implantation, as well as the relationship between the implant and the sesamoids, were assessed by static and dynamic fluoroscopy.ResultsAfter implantation, the stability was perfect in all positions and the mobility was conserved
