Abstract

Metatarsophalangeal joint dislocations are unusual, and especially most dorsal metatarsophalangeal joint dislocations can be easily reduced with closed manipuations. But we are reporting a case of irreducible traumatic dislocation of the fourth, fifth metatarsophalangeal joint with closed manipulation. So open reduction was performed. Fixation with Kirschner wire was necessary because of joint instability. This report demonstrates the phathology and the reason why closed manipulation failed.
