Varus instability of the hallux interphalangeal joint in a taekwondo athlete

Abstract: The hallux interphalangeal joint is stable in the transverse plane and there have been only a few reports of varus instability of this joint. A case is described of varus subluxation of the hallux interphalangeal joint in a taekwondo athlete and the surgical outcome after reconstruction of the collateral ligament. Taekwondo athletes, who require fast powerful kicks, should be warned about this type of forefoot injury.

“…17 The hallux interphalangeal joint is considered more stable in the transverse plane than the metatarsophalangeal joint, not only because of its firm collateral ligaments and joint capsule but also because of the bicondylar shape of the joint, the short lever arm of the distal phalanx, and its thickened fibrocartilaginous plantar plate. 18 Shimizu et al attempted to fix the osteochondral fragment associated with HVIP in his previous report, owing to the instability at the fracture site that affected the interphalangeal joint. 15 In this patient, we decided to remove the ossicle prior to osteotomy through an additional lateral incision by concomitantly releasing the lateral capsule and collateral ligament to facilitate realignment of the valgus joint, similar to lateral capsulotomy in hallux valgus surgery.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Hyperflexion injuries to the dorsal capsule, known as "sand toe," are reported in beach volleyball players. 6 Both open [7][8][9] and closed [10][11][12][13][14] lateral collateral ligament injuries have occurred in taekwondo as well as combat training, 7 soccer, 14 and basketball. 13 Despite many studies outlining the detailed anatomy, conservative management of MTP-1 injuries has been nonspecific.…”

“…The capsule is in continuity with the collateral ligaments, completely encircles the joint, and thickens on the plantar surface as the fibrocartilaginous plantar plate. 1 , 2 A bony or cartilaginous sesamoid bone can occur at the plantar aspect of the IPJ of the great toe in 72% of white persons and embeds within the joint capsule. 3 …”
