J Am Podiatr Med Assoc. 1992 Dec;82(12):630-2. doi: 10.7547/87507315-82-12-630.

Abstract

A case of dislocated first and second metatarsophalangeal joints was reported along with the mechanics and mechanism of injury. The practitioner must be familiar with the mechanism of injury and radiographic classification to determine the proper indications for closed versus open reduction. The authors' review of the literature did not reveal a similar case involving a dislocation of the first and second metatarsophalangeal joints.
