Suggest Treatment To Cure Worn Out Joint

I visited a ortho doctor about my right big toe joint and associated pain. By an xray he determined that my joint is worn out and needs a rubber knuckle. There is basically no space left in the joint and he states it is jammed and won't flex upward. Is this the best and most common way to fix the issue
