Abstract:
Stress fractures of the proximal phalanx of the great toe are rare. This fractures have been associated with halux valgus deformity in most reports. We performed open reduction and internal fixation with distal chevron osteotomy for the stress fracture of the proximal phalanx of the great toe in a basketball player with hallux valgus, and obtained successful bony union and rapid return to sports.
