Acute forefoot and midfoot injuries

R Clinton Laird. Clin Podiatr Med Surg. 2015 Apr.

Abstract

Forefoot and midfoot injuries in the athlete are common. Injuries of the digits include subungual hematomas and fractures. Metatarsal fractures occur frequently in sports, and their treatments range greatly. Hyperflexion and extension injuries about the first metatarsophalangeal joint can be very debilitating. Midfoot sprains and fractures require a high index of suspicion for diagnosis.

Keywords: Compartment syndrome; First metatarsal phalangeal joint dislocation; Jones fracture; Lisfranc fracture/dislocation; Midfoot sprains; Runner’s toe.
