Dorsal dislocation of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe: a case report.
Dorsal dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint without a fracture is a rare injury, although it has been well described in the literature. The pathologic anatomy of the case presented has not been documented previously. We suggest a new method of open repair using a sling procedure.
