Valentini, G. De Fabrizio, G. Piovan Clinica Ortopedica e Traumatologica, Università degli Studi di Trieste, Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria “Ospedali Riuniti” di Trieste Abstract. The hallux rigidus, especially in advanced stage, has always been a challenge as regards the surgical treatment. Over the years there have been various surgical techniques proposed with the aim of relieving pain, correcting deformity and maintain a certain degree of movement. For some years we have addressed the prob- lem with the replacement metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty with Reflexion system. As far as our experi- ence we have operated and monitored 25 patients (18 females and 7 males) of mean age 58.1 years, operated with this technique from June 2008 to June 2011. It reached an average ROM of 72° (extension and flexion 45° and 27°) with a good functional recovery in 8 patients, and this articulation was good (50° - 40°) in 12 patients and moderate in 5 with a articular range from 40°- 30°. The clinical results, according to our experience, appear to be favorable, as even patient satisfaction is complete.
