Abstract
The dorsal dislocations of the metatarsopharangeal joints are uncommon. Recently we have experienced a case of these dislocations at 2nd, 3rd, 4th metatarsopharangeal joints.
These dislocations could not be reduced by manipulation under lumbar anesthesia next day after injury, they were, therefore, necessary to perform open reduction.
Judging by the operation findings, we considered that most significant irreducible factor was fibrocartilagenous plate.
