Metatarsalgia Secrets



Futura™ LMP Lesser Metatarsal Phalangeal Implant

Concept: First prosthesis designed specifically for lesser metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty.

Made from UltraSIL™ silicone, the LMP prosthesis is monoblock and comprises two specially-designed stems for optimum fit in the proximal phalanx and lesser metatarsal intramedullary canals. Indications The LMP implant is indicated for treating lesser metatarsophalangeal joints in cases of: Avascular necrosis and for surgery to reduce arthritic joint pain.



This sort of implant technology may serve as a cornerstone for severe pain which may not be readily diagnosed initially in the case of this patient. This has been present for years and seemingly no treatment up to this point has been administered. There is little to offer outside of surgery when it gets this advanced. 

Come in to see your specialist, because the longer you wait, the less is able to be done to reduce your pain.
