Abstract:
Turf toe injury typically describes an injury to the metatarsosesamoid complex of the hallux generally caused by a hyperextension force to the great toe. This injury may be accompanied by pain, deformity, and decreased athletic performance. Operative treatment to repair the damaged tissue can be difficult, and we present a technique description that may help simplify the surgical reconstruction.
