Abstract
Normal anatomy of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the hallux has been well described. However, the pathologic anatomy of turf toe, a common injury among football and rugby players, has not been documented in detail. Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of a classic case of turf toe were examined and the findings were compared with MRI of a normal specimen and correlated with known features of gross anatomy. MRI findings confirmed that turf toe involves a sprain or tear of the plantar metatarsophalangeal joint capsule.
