Abstract
The management of a failed first metatarsophalangeal joint prosthesis remains controversial. Bone-block arthrodesis using ipsilateral calcaneal autograft appears to be a viable option restoring the bone loss, and avoiding hallux shortening. Nonunion is the most frequent complication with 25% of patients affected, but only 1/3 of patients with nonunion were symptomatic and required revision
