In 2002, Shaquille O'Neal was suffering from great toe arthritis. In September 2002, Shaq received a 1st MPJ fusion. The goal of this surgery was to immobilize the joint to prevent pain and keep the basketball player functional.
The procedure took only 45 minutes, and it was performed on an outpatient basis. A six-week rehabilitation program had O'Neal ready to play ball a week before the regular season began. The typical patient who receives this procedure can return to work in 3 weeks.
