Digital foot trauma: emergency diagnosis and treatment

Eileen M Schnaue-Constantouris et al. J Emerg Med. 2002 Feb.

Abstract

Trauma to the foot is commonly seen in the emergency setting. An accurate diagnosis and step-wise management is appropriate. Although most injuries respond to aggressive non-surgical treatment, surgical intervention may be required for an unstable or a displaced fracture, particularly of the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
