Interphalangeal (IP) joint dislocations of toes are relatively rare and can usually be treated by closed reduction. We present here a case of irreducible distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint dislocation of the second toe. The radiographs showed almost normal alignment except for a widened DIP joint space with avulsion fractures. Open reduction was performed since closed reduction was unsuccessful as...
Many surgical methods for the treatment of neglected Achilles tendon rupture have been reported. 1-5 Some need long incisions and the sacrifice of other tissues. A wide incision may lead to skin infection and dehiscence. Further, it is very hard to reconstruct the excessive defect, as shortening of the tendon makes the operation more difficult. On the other hand, methods using artificial...
This is a case report of an unusual osteochondral fracture of the second metatarsal head. The osteochondral fragment was rolled back and interposed inside the second metatarsophalangeal joint. The fracture required open reduction because closed reduction failed. Fixation with a Herbert screw produced a good result. Congenital absence of the middle phalanx of the second toe was a predisposing factor...
