Core Tip	Disorders of the first ray are quite common in foot and ankle surgery, as multiple pathologies can lead to degeneration and may cause stiffness to the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. If non-operative treatment fails, arthrodesis of the first MTP joint is a well-established surgical option which has demonstrated very satisfactory results. Herein, we examine the various indications for this procedure, and the different surgical techniques, regarding joint preparation and fixation constructs, that we have at our disposal in order to obtain optimum results.
