Big Toe Arthritis
Big Toe Arthritis
8% of the population suffer from arthritis in their big toe. This condition develops slowly and can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that affects both walking and resting. One common symptom is a painful bony lump at the base of the big toe.
Shoe modifications can be helpful. In more severe cases, surgery is often needed. The two most commonly performed procedures are fusion, which removes the diseased joint and uses metal implants to create a stable and pain-free big toe. I ln some cases minimally invasive joint sparing surgery can be done to allow toe motion. I regularly perform both of these techniques.
I am one of the few surgeons performing the minimally invasive cheilectomy procedure through a tiny incision in the skin.
I have extensive experience in treating big toe arthritis through both minimally invasive and open surgery, and I am looking forward to our consultation.
