Radiographic Correlation of Hallux MP Fusion Position and Plate Angle
Foot & Ankle International, 09/17/09

Leaseburg T et al. – Care needs to be taken when relying solely on the bend in the plate to determine the final position of the toe in MP fusions. Although the association between plate bend and MP angle and proximal phalanx to floor angle was strong, the association between the bend in the plate and weight bearing toe–to–floor distance was variable. This could result in the toe hitting the shoe or the need to vault over the toe. Therefore, the surgeon must match the plate to each patient’s anatomy to ensure proper weight bearing toe–to–floor distance and not rely on plate angle exclusively.
