title: The Biomet Total Toe System utilizing the Koenig score: a five-year review.
abstract: The two-component, durable first metatarsophalangeal joint implant has a 5-year history of clinical use. Unique for having plantar condyles, the Total Toe System is fully weightbearing, thus functional. A new scoring system, the Koenig Score, is introduced and applied to the Biomet Total Toe System to demonstrate the success of this implant postoperatively.
