Abstract

The article presents initial experience with a novel technique for reduction of severely subluxed fifth metatarsophalangeal joints. This involves soft tissue realignments, and may be used for other lesser metatarsophalangeal joints. Twelve-month success is noted on the longest follow-up of 10 procedures performed.
