clear increased accumulation in both metatarsophalyngeal joints of the hallux


Explanation:
Arthrodesis is the fusion of joint used in the treatment of arthritis (not arthrodisis). N.B. the metacarpals are in the hand, not the foot, so you are looking at the metatarsophalyngeal joints of the hallux (big toe).
