Summary
This study tested a special carbon fiber plate and screws to treat hallux rigidus, a condition that causes stiffness and pain in the big toe joint. 18 adults who needed surgery for this condition took part. The surgery removed damaged cartilage and fused the bones together using the plate. The main goal was to see if the bones healed properly.
