title: [Possibilities of therapy of hallux valgus et rigidus in a private hospital (Swanson great toe implant)].
abstract: In 1983 we decided to use Swanson's great toe implants in selected cases after previous clinical examinations and X-ray tests, especially the stemmed or the stemmed hinge great toe implant based on Swanson/Weil and the Swanson silastic HP double stemmed flexible hinge toe implant. Thus 97 patients were operated between 1983 and 1989. Of these patients 82 were recently examined once again. In 80.5% of all cases good to very good results were achieved concerning functional or cosmetic aspects, X-ray tests and the patient's well-being.
