Simultaneous open dislocation of the metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the hallux: a case report.
Simultaneous open dislocations of the hallux metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints is previously unreported. Reducibility of the isolated metatarsophalangeal joint dislocation is often implied by the sesamoid separation and/or the existence of a sesamoid fracture. In the open dislocations of the metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the hallux reported in this article, the ease of reduction is related instead to the severe disruption of the capsule.
