• Futura™ Metal Hemi Toe (MHT)

• The Futura™ Metal Hemi Toe (MHT) is a single stemmed resurfacing prosthesis for the first proximal phalanx designed to supplement first metatarsal phalangeal joint arthroplasty. The implant is manufactured from cobalt chrome to provide a wear resistant articular surface. A section of the intramedullary stem and the surface contacting the resected base of the proximal phalanx are coated with a titanium plasma spray to encourage osseous integration. The implant is manufactured in three sizes and is supported with a simple, custom designed instrumentation set.

Features and Benefits

• Trapezoidal articular surface matches the geometry of the resected base of the proximal phalanx and is anatomically congruent to the metatarsal head.
• The thin plantar aspect of the articular surface allows for preservation of the flexor hallucis brevis attachment site with up to 3mm of joint decompression.
• A short, trapezoidal stem provides a better anatomic fit in the intramedullary canal, with an angulation to help protect the plantar cortex.
• The dorsal aspect of the implant is rounded to reduce impingement on the metatarsal head.
• The stem is designed to facilitate revision to a Primus UltraSil implant.
