Pedal digital fractures, common forefoot injuries, are often misunderstood. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent serious complications from mistreated toe fractures.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Podiatry
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Fractures of the foot phalanges are frequent forefoot injuries.
  • Limited literature exists on pedal digital fractures.
  • A misconception persists that toe fractures self-resolve.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review classifications of pedal digital fractures.
  • To elucidate mechanisms of injury.
  • To detail clinical presentation, complications, and treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of pedal digital fractures.
  • Analysis of classifications and injury mechanisms.
  • Synthesis of clinical presentation, complications, and treatment options.

Main Results:
