Patients with a fracture of proximal phalanx of the great toe complain more about valgus deformity than about severe pain. 10 Valgus deformity progresses gradually and can result in hallux valgus and interphalangeal hallux valgus according to the fracture site. Interphalangeal hallux valgus is defined as the angular relationship between the ...

These fractures usually result from low-impact injuries, such as axial load to the toe, when kicking a doorstep. Conventional radiographs of the great toe in AP and lateral oblique views are sufficient for diagnosis and treatment. This case shows a displaced distal partial articular fracture of the proximal hallux.

2024年10月1日 · The authors present a case of a traumatic hallux (big toe) fracture in a 77-year-old male who was walking near a construction site when a brick fell and hit his big toe on his right foot. This case report highlights the usage of different treatment types in a toe fracture and different techniques used to diagnose the fracture.

Most fractures of the hallux occur at the distal phalanx and are most commonly a result of a direct crushing type of injury. Stubbing injuries, on the other hand, generally impact the IP joint and can result in dislocations with or without intraarticular fractures [ 28 ].

Fractures can result from a direct blow to the foot — such as accidentally kicking something hard or dropping a heavy object on your toes. They can also result from the overuse and repetitive stress that comes with participating in high-impact sports like running, football, and basketball.

Fractures of the distal phalanx may appear in many different patterns, including impaction fractures of the base with secondary incongruity or multifragmentary fractures secondary to crush, with or without nail bed injuries. This illustration demonstrates an impaction fracture of the lateral base of the distal phalanx with secondary incongruity.

Unlike the energy required to generate a simple complete articular fracture, multifragmentary articular fractures derive from high-impact trauma, usually involving axial loading to the toe. Conventional radiographs of the great toe in AP and lateral oblique views are sufficient for diagnosis and treatment.

2003年12月15日 · Fractures of the toe are one of the most common lower extremity fractures diagnosed by family physicians. Toe fractures most frequently are caused by a crushing injury or axial force such as...

2023年4月23日 · Symptoms of a hallux fracture can include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected foot. In more severe cases, the toe may appear deformed or misaligned, and there may be an open wound or bone protruding through the skin.

Forceful violent hyperflexion of the hallux IP joint can cause disruption of EHL tendon with mallet deformity of avulsion of a piece of distal phalanx. Here our patient developed an avulsion fracture and remained unnoticed and unsupported for 2 days which was vulnerable for further injury, inflammation and future complications.
