title: Turf Toe and Disorders of the Sesamoid Complex.
abstract: A turf toe injury encompasses a wide spectrum of traumatic problems that occur to the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Most of these injuries are mild and respond well to nonoperative management. However, more severe injuries may require surgical management, including presence of diastasis or retraction of sesamoids, vertical instability, traumatic hallux valgus deformity, chondral injury, loose body, and failed conservative treatment.
