Dorsal dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
We report 3 cases of dorsal dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint treated by closed reduction. Associated dislocation of the sesamoid complex may make reduction difficult. We suggest a modification of Jahss's classification and have confirmed our findings in amputation specimens.
