Abstract

A case of traumatic dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint with concomitant fibular sesamoid fracture and thoracic vertebral fracture is presented. The first meta tarsophalangeal joint was repaired by means of open reduction with collateral ligament repair. At 12 months following the operation, the patient displayed nonpainful and unrestricted first metatarsophalangeal joint motion.
