Medical Conditions - Metatarsal Joint Dislocation

Metatarsophalangeal joint dislocation is a rare injury. However, if ignored or poorly handled, a similar injury may negatively impact the patient's capacity for walking and bearing weight. The most frequent causes of this injury are motor vehicle accidents, followed by falls from a height and sporting injuries. In hyperextension, a high energy force distal to proximal with the foot causes damage to the metatarsophalangeal joint.
