Dislocation of Fifth Metatarsophalangeal Joint with an Adjacent Forth Metatarsal Neck Fracture

Ersin Ercin, Emre Baca, Mustafa G. Bilgili and Bulent Tanriverdi

Fracture dislocations in the foot region may be complex and it is difficult to recognize all injuries in standard radiographic examinations. This report represents a case with an irreducible fifth metatarsophalangeal dislocation and associated fracture of forth metatarsal neck. A closed reduction of metatarsophalangeal joint was not possible because of trapped fifth metatarsal head between adjacent forth metatarsal neck fracture fragments.
