ABSTRACT
Dorsal cheilectomy refers to a surgical resection of the dorsal osteophyte from the first metatarsal head. It is most often performed in patients with hallux rigidus, who have little to no midrange pain of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The procedure is simple, quick, and maintains range of motion. Additional advantages of this procedure include low morbidity, quicker postoperative recovery, avoidance of costly implants, and the fact that the procedure does not inhibit future conversion to an arthrodesis. These proposed advantages have led some authors to advocate for the use of a cheilectomy, even in patients with more extensive disease.
