The metatarsophalangeal joints (MTP joints) are the joints between the metatarsal bones of the foot and the proximal bones (proximal phalanges) of the toes. They are condyloid joints, meaning that an elliptical or rounded surface (of the metatarsal bones) comes close to a shallow cavity (of the proximal phalanges).

Methods and devices are disclosed for manipulating alignment of the foot to treat patients with flat feet, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and metatarsophalangeal joint dysfunction. An enlargeable implant is positioned in or about the sinus tarsi and / or first metatarsal-phalangeal joint of the foot. The implant is insertable by minimally invasive means and enlarged through a catheter or needle. Enlargement of the implant alters the range of motion in the subtalar or first metatarsal-phalangeal joint and changes the alignment of the foot or toe.

Hemi-implant for first metatarsophalangeal joint
InactiveUS20080221697A1Increase the lengthSimpler but effective retention structureAnkle jointsToe jointsJoint surfaceBiomedical engineering
An improved implant for use primarily within the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The implant includes an elliptical, concave, joint surface positioned on a stem and is designed to be placed into a prepared proximal face of the phalanx. The implant is sized according to the patient and may be provided in a number of standard incremental sizes. The improvements relate primarily to the structure, size, and position of the stem that extends into the phalanx to support the implant. The stem is off-set from a center axis of the elliptical joint surface. This off-center placement allows for a longer stem. Single deep indentations on each side of the stem facilitate retention within the bone. A size selection tool is provided to facilitate the selection and placement of an appropriately sized implant. The tool further provides a template for positioning and placing the stem in the phalanx. A method for sizing and selecting the appropriate implant, and positioning and fixing the implant as a partial joint replacement, especially for the first metatarsophalangeal joint, is also described.

Modified Shoe Permitting Forefoot Extension For Natural Supination and Pronation
A modified shoe that allows the forefoot to extend, creating an everted forefoot in relation to an inverted heel. This action of the foot creates a higher and contracted medial arch. The force of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and first phalange pushing against the ground tilts the rest of the foot at a slight angle to the lateral side, creating supination. The modified shoe also incorporates a unique process of pre-stretching forefoot flex grooves that will allow for a more efficient hinge at the metatarsophalangeal joints. This allows for the several biomechanical changes to a person's gait pattern. This shoe will allow for people to walk with a more natural gait pattern, and not the gait pattern that many people have adopted due to restrictive footwear. This shoe will be ideal for people with forefoot varus, and will have benefits for people with a neutral foot as well.
