A Clinical Observation for the Fracture of Proximal Phalanx of the Great Toe(So Called Safety shoes-Fracture)

Two cases of osteochondral lesions of the proximal phalanx of the great toe at the interphalangeal joint are presented. This condition is characterized by pain, swelling, and tenderness at the interphalangeal joint. The roentgenographic characteristics resemble osteochondritis dissecans. Curettage and bone grafting to the lesion is effective. These conditions in adolescent soccer players may be caused by chronic repetitive overloading of the interphalangeal joint using soccer shoes with soft, supple, and narrow toe boxes.

Salter Harris

Epiphyseal fractures account for about one fifth of pediatric fractures. Approximately 10% cause major growth disturbances, depending on the location and type of the fracture and the skeletal maturity of the child. Intra-articular Salter-Harris type IV fractures are rare, carry a poor prognosis, and almost always need surgical reduction to prevent deformity. We present a case report of a pediatric patient who returned to normal function after the successful surgical reduction of a Salter-Harris type IV fracture in the proximal phalanx of the great toe.

Cutaneous Tissue

Squamous cell carcinoma is a common disease of cutaneous tissue with a great ability to form metastases. Squamous cell carcinoma is found most commonly on sun-damaged skin and has a rare occurrence on the toes and feet. The patient was a 68-year-old woman who was seen at a podiatric specialty office with a complaint of pain in her left great toe and toenail. Radiographs displayed erosion of the distal hallux, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed no further spread of disease in the proximal phalanx. An amputation was performed of the hallux interphalangeal joint, and pathology confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the verrucous type. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 103(2): 149–151, 2013)
