To assess the results of forefoot arthroplasty, dynamic and static foot pressure studies have been made of the rheumatoid foot in both a prospective study group of 60 feet and in a retrospective study group of 18 feet. Significant reductions of pressure in the forefoot were found. Problems associated with the first and fifth metatarsals were considered.
