ABSTRACT
Controversies exist regarding the treatment options for the end-stage arthritic change in the lateral tarsometatarsal joints. Arthrodesis has been frequently performed, but has a disadvantage of sacrificing a mobile joint. Resection arthroplasty also gained its popularity, especially in the patients with Rheumatoid arthritis, but possible hypermobility can lead to deformity. We report a successful clinical outcome of a patient with Rheumatoid arthritis in the 4th, 5th tarsometatarsal joints treated with tendon interpositional arthroplasties.
