TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Mallet hallux injury: a case report and literature review JO - Clinical imaging A1 - Biondetti, Pierpaolo A1 - Dalstrom, David J. A1 - Ilfeld, Brian A1 - Smitaman, Edward SP - 33 EP - 36 VL - 62 IS - N2 - Mallet injury is associated with variable degrees of extensor hallucis longus tendon tearing, ultimately leading to the well-known mallet toe deformity; this entity, commonly described at the lesser toes and fingers, has rarely been reported at the hallux. We present a surgically proven case of mallet hallux injury with radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging assessment and review the literature, including clinical and radiological findings, along with basic treatment concepts.
