Metatarsal Head Resurfacing with Interpositional Grafting

This procedure helps to improve the function of one of the metatarsalphalangeal joints in the foot. Theses joints, commonly called the "MTP" joints, are found at the base of each of the toes. Arthritis in these joints can result in pain and loss of movement. Commonly, this procedure is performed to treat the MTP joint of the big toe.
