Abstract
The second metatarsophalangeal joint is prone to specific and varied pathology that is well understood and may exist in isolation or in combination with other forefoot abnormality. Surgical treatment options for managing end-stage second metatarsophalangeal abnormalities have been minimally studied and exist primarily in case studies and series in the literature. As a result, surgical approaches remain controversial and warrant further discussion.
