Description of a Revision Technique for Failed Polyvinyl Alcohol Hydrogel Implant in Patient with Freiberg's Disease

We report a case with recurrence of symptoms within six weeks and required revision for fracture of the implant. We describe a revision technique with modified osteochondral bone graft to deal with the variables of revision surgery namely: the bone loss, collateral ligament insufficiency and changes to the proximal phalanx articular surface. We describe a post-operative plan, recovery and a good outcome achieved in 12 Month follow-up.
