CLOSURERepair and suture the joint capsule, being certain to completely cover the Implant. (Optional technique procedure: Tack down the extensor digitorum longus tendon proximal to the MTP joint, using one or two absorbable sutures, with the digit just slightly plantar flexed at the MTP joint. This will prevent retrograde buckling (dorsal contracture) of the joint while the foot is elevated post operatively, thus allowing the joint capsule to heal in its normal position. The sutures will dissolve after a few weeks, and the tendon and joint will resume function.) Wound closure is performed with sutures of the surgeon’s choice.
