Returning to physical activity after first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis
First metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis procedures are a common surgical intervention used to treat pain associated at the first metatarsophalangeal joint associated with degenerative changes. Many patients who are about to undergo this procedure are concerned about how this treatment will impact their ability to continue their desired physical activities due to the fusion of the big toe joints.
