Abstract:
We present a case of a 25-year-old male professional soccer player who complained of severe pain over the first metatarsal head after opponent contact during a soccer game. Clinical findings showed swelling and tenderness. Initial radiographs showed a diastasis of a bipartite medial sesamoid between the fragments as compared to radiographs taken 4 years earlier of the same foot. A computed tomography scan was performed objectifying the widened interval and also showing an angulation of the proximal fragment. Open reduction and screw fixation were performed, leading to adequate positioning of the 2 bipartite fragments. The patient showed good clinical recovery and returned to the same performance level. Turf toe injury with diastasis of a medial bipartite sesamoid can be treated successfully with this operative technique. Levels of Evidence: Level V: Case report
