Plantar dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is a possible, albeit rare, injury to the foot. The mechanism has been attributed to a hyperflexion motion, with the hallux situated plantar to the first metatarsal head. In this article, we provide a case example of an open, plantar dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal and perform a literature review of this rare injury. Based on x-ray analysis of the published cases, the sesamoids may or may not dislocate with the phalanx based off of the local capsuloligamentous anatomy. As a result, a modified Jahss classification (type 3A and type 3B) has been proposed to amend the existing system, adding plantar dislocations of the first metatarsophalangeal without (type 3A) and with (type 3B) sesamoid dislocation.

Subluxation or dislocation of the second metatarsophalangeal joint may be commonly associated with crossover toe, metatarsalgia, and painful calluses. This retrospective study aims to evaluate the clinical and functional results in patients with irreducible second metatarsophalangeal joint dislocation treated by double percutaneous osteotomy in one step: Haspell's osteotomy and Distal Metatarsal Mini-Invasive Osteotomy. A total of 39 patients were included in this study.

Background: A torn plantar plate (PP) is important pathologic anatomy related to a dislocated or subluxated metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ). Traditionally, a torn PP was treated with Weil osteotomy through a dorsal approach. However, because of the limited visualization of the dorsal approach, PP repair through a plantar approach has been proposed as a new technique.

Successful lesser toes and metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint reconstruction must withstand substantial biomechanical loads from standing, walking, and exercise. While complications following lesser toe and MTP reconstruction are common, limited literature addresses revision surgeries for complications including recurrence. Numerous complications of surgery for toes and lesser MTP joints can be managed or improved through revision surgery, but not all complications can be prevented or resolved.

Lesser metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints instability is usually produced by the rupture of the plantar plate. The treatment algorithm may change in patients with advanced stages of the plantar plate rupture, and surgical treatment is proposed to avoid MTP dislocation. Palliative surgery with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) can offer a less aggressive approach and enable excellent clinical correction and a good function.

Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) instability is a common cause of metatarsalgia of the lesser toes. Instability often presents as pain in the plantar forefoot, progressing to coronal and transverse plane malalignment. MTP joint dislocation can develop in some cases.
