Arthrodesis of small joints for hammer and claw toe deformities is a common forefoot operative procedure. Our objective was to review patients who underwent small toe arthrodesis with Smart Toe(©) intramedullary monobloc implant. Our aim was to assess patient's surgical outcome and to ascertain implant suitability. ⋯ We feel that Smart Toe(©) small toe arthrodesis is a safe and reliable technique with good patient outcome and acceptance.
