The authors present results of long-term follow-up of seven patients whose degenerative disease of the first metatarsophalangeal joint was treated with irradiated chondral graft implantation arthroplasty. In appropriate candidates, this procedure is a reasonable alternative to Keller arthroplasty alone, arthrodesis, and nonbiologic implant arthroplasty.
