Abstract
- We report a case of irreducible dorsal dislocation of all the lesser metatarsophalangeal joints of the foot following injury at sport. Plantar plate prevented reduction at all the joints, which necessitated an open reduction and stabilization with K-wire. This report highlights the necessity of prompt open reduction and reviews the mechanism of injury and complex anatomy at metatarsophalangeal joint. Levels of Evidence: Therapeutic, Level IV, Case study
