Abstract:
Dislocation of the interphalangeal joint of the great toe is a condition which is reported rarely. Especially, it is extremely rarely reported as for the case of neglected dislocation. Here, we report one case of neglected dislocation for 6 weeks of the interphalangeal joint of the great toe. Reduction followed by a push of the incarcerated sesamoid bone based on dorsal approach, was done successfully, and we found satisfactory results after a 4 years of follow-up.
