N2 - A biomechanically altered rheumatic forefoot with a resulting shoe conflict and an impaired immune system due to underlying disease and medical treatment are often cause for infection. Often infected bursae perforate into the corresponding joints and may consequently lead to severe infectious states of the foot. The multiplicity of possible biomechanical adjustments makes it difficult to develop an undisputed concept. Conservative versus operative therapeutic options are possible and may be individually applied. It should be questioned, if the same general rules in septic joint surgery also apply to the rheumatoid forefoot. This retrospective clinical study will evaluate a concept for possible operative treatment of the infected rheumatoid forefoot in selected cases. Our conception advocates operative procedures on a patient adapted basis in order to prevent recurrent infections. Suggestions for operative procedures are given.
