Reconstruction of the first metatarsophalangeal joint by vascular anastomotic transplantation of fibular head: A case report

Foot injury with soft tissue and bone defects is very common, and it is very difficult to reconstruct the irreparable first metatarsophalangeal joint in clinical work. In this paper, partial fibular head free transplantation was used to reconstruct the articular surface defect of the first metatarsal head and restore the first metatarsophalangeal joint in a clinic case. After 18 months of follow-up, the patient achieved satisfactory first metatarsophalangeal joint function.
