Adequate assessment of crush injuries to the hallux is necessary before appropriate management can be initiated. When distal phalangeal fractures of the hallux are detected by routine radiography and subungual hematomas are present, open fractures of the hallux may be overlooked if the physician does not routinely avulse the nailplate. The authors review current modalities for the detection and evaluation of these injuries and present a protocol for treatment.

Limited evidence to support demineralized bone matrix in foot and ankle surgical procedures: A systematic review.
World J Orthop
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY 10002, United States.
Background: Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is a commonly utilized allogenic bone graft substitute to promote osseous union. However, little is known regarding outcomes following DBM utilization in foot and ankle surgical procedures.
Aim: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes following DBM as a biological adjunct in foot and ankle surgical procedures.
Postoperative outcome of screw fixation with autogenous bone grafting for the management of hallux sesamoid fracture nonunion.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Korea University Guro Hospital, 148 Gurodong-ro, Guro- gu, Seoul, 08308, Korea.
Introduction: Although sesamoid-preserving procedures have been attempted to complement sesamoidectomy for hallux sesamoid fracture nonunion, few reports document the results. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to review the outcomes of patients with hallux sesamoid fracture nonunion who underwent screw fixation with autogenous bone grafting.
Materials And Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent surgery between January 2013 and September 2022 were reviewed.
[Hallux Extensus as a Rare Complication of Crural Fracture and Its Surgical Treatment].
Acta Chir Orthop Traumatol Cech

Hallux extensus is a persistent dorsiflexion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Apart from many other causes, it can also be caused by contracture of the extensor hallucis longus muscle, in our case resulting from surgical treatment of crural fracture. The authors present the case of a 17-year-old soccer player who sustained a fracture of both shin and calf bone during a soccer match and underwent surgical treatment with intramedullary nailing.

Introduction: Seymour physeal fractures of the distal phalanx of the Hallux in children are common but rarely described in the literature. There is limited literature investigating how these fractures should be specifically treated. Generally, good results are reported when open fractures are treated with debridement and antibiotics.

Article Synopsis
- - Conservative treatment for lateral head fractures of the great toe in children often leads to issues like hallux valgus interphalangeus (HVIP), making surgical intervention necessary for late-diagnosed cases.
- - This study involved nine cases that underwent surgery with open reduction and Kirchner wire fixation, with an average delay of 2.9 years from injury to surgery, showcasing challenges and varied causes of the injuries.
- - Post-surgery results were positive, with improved HVIP angles, American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, and joint motion, indicating that even late-diagnosed fractures can achieve successful treatment outcomes.
