Abstract
Plantar plate deficiency is the major cause of instability of the metatarsophalangeal joint, and plantar plate tenodesis can provide dynamic stabilization of the plantar plate. In case of crossover toe deformity, incorporation of arthroscopic release of the medial capsuloligamentous complex and the lumbrical tendon can eliminate the medial deforming force. However, in case of severe deformity, the lateral capsuloligamentous complex is attenuated. The purpose of this Technical Note is to incorporate the technique of arthroscopic plication of the lateral capsuloligamentous complex into the technique of plantar plate tenodesis and arthroscopic release of the medial capsuloligamentous complex and the lumbrical tendon.
