Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Turf toe is an injury of the first metatarsophalangeal(MTP) articulation, due to hyperextension of the big toe, which leads to damage of the plantar capsuloligamentous complex. It may cause tearing or complete disruption of these structures.
Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The slightly concave shape of the proximal phalanx with which the first metatarsal articulates creates little joint stability. The plantar capsule is thicker on the proximal phalanx and finishes in a thinner part on the metatarsal head. It supports the under surface of the metatarsal head and resists hyperextension of the metatarsophalangeal joint.(8) Additionally to the plantar capsule and the collateral ligaments, the MTP joint is dynamically stabilized by the flexor hallucis brevis (FHB)(the hallucal sesamoids embedded in the FHB tendons), the adductor hallucis and the abductor hallucis tendons.
