This is the first reported case of sesamoid bone interposition in the interphalangeal joint of the hallux as a complication of closed reduction of a dislocated interphalangeal joint of the hallux. The case also highlights the importance of post-reduction radiographs.

Eight women had 10 toes treated for hallux rigidus by dorsal wedge osteotomy of the proximal phalanx and were reviewed after an average follow-up of 22 years. Five toes were symptom-free, four others did not restrict walking, and only one had required metatarsophalangeal fusion. We conclude that dorsal wedge osteotomy affords long-lasting benefits for hallux rigidus in the adolescent female.

INTRODUCTION Base wedge osteotomies are a wellestablished surgical indication for patients presenting with hallux valgus deformities. Proximal osteotomies are indicated for severe deformities in cases when the intermetatarsal angle is greater than 15 degrees (Landsman and Vogel, 1992). Numerous base wedge procedures have been identified to correct hallux valgus deformity, all requiring internal...

BACKGROUND Hallux valgus still remains a problem in orthopaedic surgery, a fact attested to by over a hundred operating procedures for the correction of this deformity that have been elaborated until now. The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of the McBride procedure for surgical correction of the hallux valgus deformity using an anatomic & functional foot scoring system and roentgen...

Hallux valgus deformity is a very common pathological condition which commonly produces painful disability. It is characterised as a combined deformity with a malpositioning of the first metatarsophalangeal joint caused by a lateral deviation of the great toe and a medial deviation of the first metatarsal bone.Taking the patient's history and a thorough physical examination are important steps....

Hallux valgus deformity combined with dorsal dislocation of the second metatarsophalangeal joint is frequently observed in rheumatoid arthritis cases. However, hallux valgus deformity without lesser toe dislocation is also seen in rheumatoid cases. Dislocated second toe cause the loss of the lateral support on the hallux, suggesting the importance to confirm the state of lesser toe MTP joint wh...

Hallux valgus deformity is an often deformity in which first metatarsophalangeal joint is subluxated due to the lateral deviation of thumb and medial deviation of metatarsal bone. As deformity progresses, it results in function and uniformity loss, with lateral displacement of thumb and deformity of claw toe and hammer toe. Shoes’ pressure on bunion area causes its inflammation and pain. Conser...

INTRODUCTION: Hallux valgus (bunions) are prominent and often inflamed metatarsal heads and overlying bursae. They are associated with valgus deviation of the great toe which moves towards the second toe. Hallux valgus is found in at least 2% of children aged 9 to 10 years, and almost half of adults, with greater prevalence in women. METHODS AND OUTCOMES: We conducted a systematic review and ai...

Mallet hallux injury typically occurs due to trauma from forced hyperflexion. The is commonly an avulsion fracture of the extensor hallucis longus tendon at distal end great toe, but can also rupture around its insertion into first phalanx. It rare for both types occur simultaneously. A mallet toe occurring in rarely reported, and there no established standard treatment method. Here, we present...
