An Innovative Method for Plantar Plate Repair: Technique Guide and Case Report.

Disruption of the plantar plate is a common cause of forefoot pain, metatarsalgia, and metatarsophalangeal joint malalignment.

In this publication, we report a case of plantar plate injury treated with an innovative new technique with 20-month follow-up.
