Artroplastia de Keller-Brandes versus artroplastia con hemiimplante para el tratamiento quirúrgico del hallux rigidus: análisis comparativo a medio plazo

The results of the techniques of podiatric surgery of Keller and hemi-implant arthroplasty seems to be dependent on the age of the patient and progress time. Keller artrhoplasty have offered better results in patients older that 55, independently of the sex, but transfer metatarsalgia at 3 and 5 years is a common postoperative finding. The hemi-implant procedure seems to be more beneficial in patients less that 55.
