Disorders of the great toe in dancers.
Although often neglected in the consideration of dancing and sports injuries, the great toe is as important as the other large joints of the lower limb. Many injuries to the great toe are associated with technical faults occurring during dancing, and these should be corrected or the injury will recur. It is also important that when a dancer presents with an injury elsewhere, the possibility of faults at the great toe be considered.
