title: Resection arthroplasty of the forefoot in rheumatoid arthritis cases.
abstract: Resection arthroplasty of the forefoot was performed in 30 patients (48 feet) with rheumatoid arthritis. A Keller/Clayton procedure yielded good results, whereas a less radical operation (Hybbinette) created poor results. Reoperation following failed Hybbinette operations was possible.
