Extensor Hallucis Longus

The authors present a case of a traumatic extensor hallucis longus tendon rupture sustained 2 days after hallux valgus and hammer toe correction. The ruptured tendon, separated by a 6-cm defect, was repaired using a fascia lata allograft. This case demonstrates a serious complication of a commonly performed procedure and a salvage technique useful for dealing with large tendon defects. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 92(8): 467-470, 2002)

Mtp Joints

The plantar plate is a fibrocartilaginous structure that lies deep to the metatarsal heads and provides stability to the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints. Repetitive motion may lead to irritation, inflammation and tear of the plate. In this case, a 400m hurdler reported metatarsalgia, swelling and misalignment of the second[Formula: see text]toe, in the absence of trauma. Pain was experienced during the toe off phase of hurdling. The patient had a hammer toe and a positive Lachman’s Test on examination. Fluoroscopy guided second MTP joint arthrogram confirmed the diagnosis of plantar plate tear. Complete Plantar Plate Repair and Weil’s Osteotomy were then carried out for definitive management after physiotherapy and analgesia failed to provide relief. Although there are numerous conservative measures to treat this ailment, surgical management remains the most effective.
