Biomechanical performance of static and NiTiNOL compression devices in first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis
Superelastic NiTiNOL SDC staples yield equivalent construct stiffness and markedly reduce permanent plantar gapping compared with static fixation. Hybrid constructs may further enhance biomechanical stability, supporting future clinical evaluation of SDC devices in first MTP arthrodesis.
