AI Article Synopsis
- * Initial attempts to fix the injury non-surgically were unsuccessful, resulting in a complete dislocation that required surgical intervention.
- * The surgery involved realigning the joint and repairing the surrounding structures, which resulted in good functional recovery and positive follow-up results.
Article Abstract
Case: A 34-year-old woman sustained a direct trauma to the left hallux during a fall. Radiographs showed a dorsal dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and a wide separation of sesamoid complex. Closed reduction was tried: postreduction radiographs displayed reduction of first metatarsophalangeal joint and a complete sesamoid complex dislocation. The patient was scheduled for surgery. Through a medial approach, open reduction together with plantar structures release and repair were performed. Functional and radiographic outcomes were satisfactory at the last follow-up.
Conclusion: In case of a "headphones-like lesion" surgery is required, together with plantar structures repair.
