Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • First metatarsophalangeal (MP) joint injuries, commonly known as turf toe, can cause lasting issues.
  • Previous studies indicate potential long-term consequences such as persistent pain and restricted movement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the long-term effects of turf toe injuries in athletes.
  • To highlight the significance of appropriate treatment for turf toe injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on long-term morbidity following first MP joint injuries.
  • Analysis of studies examining sequelae such as hallux valgus and hallux rigidus.
  • Examination of athlete follow-up data for persistent symptoms after turf toe injuries.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Long-term morbidity includes persistent pain during athletic activities and reduced range of motion.
  • Specific sequelae noted are hallux valgus and early hallux rigidus.
  • A 5-year follow-up study of 20 athletes revealed a 50% incidence of persistent symptoms post-turf toe injury.

Conclusions:

  • Turf toe is a significant athletic injury with potential for long-term morbidity.
  • Further research is necessary to fully understand the long-term impact.
  • Treatment should be tailored to the injury's severity to mitigate long-term effects.
