Abstract

Sprain injury to the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint is referred to as turf toe. The incidence of this injury has increased over the years secondary to athletic fields being covered by artificial turf and also by increased flexibility of the toe box in athletic shoes. The pathogenesis of turf toe will be presented in this article.
