Irreducible dorsal dislocation of the interphalangeal joint of the great toe: report of two cases.
In this paper, we report two cases of dislocation of the hallux interphalangeal joint with interposition of the plantar plate including the sesamoid bone. These dislocations were treated with open reduction: one through lateral approach and the other through plantar approach. Plantar approach afforded repair of the plantar plate with preservation of the sesamoid bone and satisfactory result.
