Eighty-seven feet have been reviewed after arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint stabilised by chromic catgut. Radiological union was present in 90% of patients at the mean review time of six years. Twenty-four patients had significant metatarsalgia before operation and only two failed to improve afterwards. Excellent or good subjective results were reported in 94% of patients at review. Chromic catgut is advocated as a simple and effective method of stabilising an arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
