(1) Koenig Total Great Toe Implant. Preliminary Report. Richard D. Koenig, DPM
(2) The Biomet Total Toe System Utilizing the Koenig Score: A Five-Year Review. The two-component, durable first metatarsophalangeal joint implant has a 5-year history of clinical use. Unique for having plantar condyles, the Total Toe System is fully weightbearing, thus functional. A new scoring system, the Koenig Score, is introduced and applied to the Biomet Total Toe System to demonstrate the success of this implant postoperatively.

(3) Revision Athroplasty Utilizing the Biomet Total Toe System for Failed Silicone Elastomer Implants; The author presents a 3-year study of 10 cases of revisional arthroplasty utilizing the Biomet Total Toe Systemâ. The procedure is performed to eliminate pain and restore function in cases of metatarsophalangeal joint silicone elastomer implant failure. The surgeon should be familiar with the Total Toe System before attempting revision; Richard D. Koenig, DPM, FACFAS
