title: Modification of lesser metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty using flexor digitorum longus transfer.
abstract: The authors present a modification of an interposition arthroplasty using the flexor digitorum longus for degeneration of the metatarsophalangeal joint with an associated hammer toe deformity. This procedure is simple to perform and allows for relief of pain and stiffness associated with metatarsophalangeal joint arthrosis.
