First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis Using an Intraosseous Post and Lag Screw with Immediate Bearing of Weight

In this study, a novel construct is examined consisting of an intraosseous post and a lag screw which may allow for immediate weight-bearing due to increased stability and compression inherent to the design.
