“…Sammarco et al reported risks of infection, soft tissue damage, and a possibility of metatarsophalangeal joint stiffness with this technique. 11 If open reduction becomes necessary, a Kirschner wire can be inserted in an antegrade fashion through the opened fracture site into the distal fracture fragment and to the proximal phalanx, followed by reduction and retrograde insertion back over the fracture site into the proximal fragment. 6 However, this technique impinges on the MTP joint and opening of the fracture site which may lead to nonunion.…”
