1 The second, third, and fourth metatarsophalangeal joints are reached by a dorsolateral incision parallel to the corresponding extensor tendon (Fig. 1-25).

2 The fifth metatarsophalangeal joint is best exposed by a straight or cured dorsal or dorsolateral incision.

3 The results of total metatarsophalangeal joint and composite interphalangeal joint transplantation were poor.

4 The fifth metatarsophalangeal joint is best exposed by a straight or curved dorsal or dorsolateral incision.

5 The metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe may be exposed in one of several ways. Two ways are discussed here.

6 The X-ray films showed good healing between the transplanted metatarsophalangeal joint and metacarpals and phalanges at 9-14 weeks postoperatively.

7 The treatment of pressure metatarsalgia must aim for it's pathomechanic cause, that is, huyper-extension of metatarsophalangeal joint.

8 Results: 8 cases first symptoms were in metacarpophalangeal joints and proximal interphalangeal joints, the other 8 cases were in the first metatarsophalangeal joints.

9 Objective To report one good method of using reverse first dorsal metatarsal artery flap to repair the cutaneous deficiency of first metatarsophalangeal joint.

10 This article describes the history, the status and prospect of implant arthroplasty of the first metatarsophalangeal join...

11 Unfortunately, the pathological report revealed this amelanotic ulcer was malignant amelanotic melanoma and the toe was amputated subsequently at the first metatarsophalangeal joint level.

12 Conclusions It is the effective method on reconstruction of composite tissue defects in the metacarpophalangeal joint by transplantation of composite tissue flap in metatarsophalangeal joint.

13 Objective To explore the effect of the collateral ligaments and the plantar plate on the flexion of the metatarsophalangeal(MP) joints.

14 Primary union was obtained in all cases. The function of flexion and extension of metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints were recovered satisfactorily.

15 Objective To present a simple and reliable method for the reconstruction of metacarpophalangeal joint by the cartilage transplantation of metatarsophalangeal joint.
