Abstract

Turf toe injuries can be a disabling if not recognized and treated early. A high index of suspicion, based on the mechanism of injury and appropriate imaging, helps in the timely diagnosis. These injuries are frequently known to occur on artificial playing surfaces, because of the increased traction at the shoe-surface interface. Stress and instability testing are key components to assess the need for surgical intervention. Accurate timely diagnosis and treatment can allow full return to physical activities for most athletes, back to their pre-injury level.
