First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthroscopy

New frontiers in foot and ankle surgery include arthroscopic and endoscopic procedures of other joints outside the ankle. Arthroscopy allows many procedures to be performed with minimal incisions and better visualization of the pathology provided that the procedures involved associated with the arthroscopy can be performed minimally invasively. The first Metatarsaophalngeal joint is a relatively easy joint to access through the arthroscope. A number of outcome studies have been published on debridement, fusion, cheilectomy, and hallux valgus correction. The technique for Metatarsaophalngeal arthroscopy is described. Levels of Evidence: Diagnostic Level 4. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
