ABSTRACT:
A great toe implant for replacement of a portion of the proximal phalanx has a substantially reniform bearing surface, providing a recess on the lower edge for receiving the flexor hallucis longus tendon once implanted. Retaining portions (such as small spikes) provided on the rear face of the implant engage the proximal phalanx, preventing rotation of the implant with respect to the proximal phalanx once the implant is surgically implanted. In addition, holes are provided on the lower edge of the implant to attach the implant to the flexor hallucis brevis tendons and to the proximal phalanx.
