Plantar Plate Injury and Angular Toe Deformity - 27/09/18
Résumé |
Lesser toe plantar plate injuries at the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint are a common source of metatarsalgia. The second MTP joint is the most commonly affected digit. The fibrocartilaginous plantar plate is the most important static stabilizer of the MTP joint; high loading with weight bearing can lead to attritional plantar plate injuries. Chronic pain with weight bearing is the common presentation of lesser toe instability. Untreated plantar plate instability can lead to hammer toe and mallet toe deformities. Combined Weil osteotomy and plantar plate repair yields favorable pain relief and angular deformity correction for patients who fail conservative treatment.
