title: Irreducible dorsal dislocation of the interphalangeal joint of the great toe: report of two cases.
abstract: 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.
