title: Second toe proximal phalanx interposition bone graft to correct a failed Keller's arthroplasty. A new technique.
abstract: We present a case report of a novel salvage technique for a failed Keller's arthroplasty using nonvascularised phalanx transfer from the second toe to the hallux on the same foot. The technique restores length, function and relieves pain.
