title: MR imaging of turf toe.
abstract: MR imaging provides soft tissue detail unparalleled by any other modality for the assessment of turf toe injuries and has become standard in certain populations of athletic patients. Principal knowledge of the anatomy and appropriate imaging techniques is central for accurate imaging evaluation. The precise determination of the structures involved and the severity of the injury by MR imaging provides the basis for treatment.
