Abstract
Different procedures have been reported for severe and recurrent lesser toes deformity. These included DuVries metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty, resection arthroplasty, partial proximal phalangectomy, syndactylization, or lesser toe amputation. In the presence of a failed metatarsal head resection, the surgeon is faced with limited salvage options including Hoffman procedure or lesser toe amputation. The 3D printing technology has allowed orthopaedic surgeons to expand the therapeutic arsenal to address challenging situations. We herein present the first case of 3D-printed second lesser metatarsal replacement performed after a failed second metatarsal head resection.Level of Evidence: V.
