Forefoot · for early big-toe arthritis

Big Toe Cheilectomy in Milton Keynes, Northampton & Banbury

In short

A cheilectomy removes the bony spur on top of an arthritic big toe joint, freeing up movement and easing pain when you push off. It suits earlier-grade arthritis where the joint is worth preserving, and is usually a day-case operation.
