ABSTRACT

Injuries in the metatarsophalangeal joint complex of the hallux are seen with greater frequency in athletes, their importance lies in the functional limitation it generates. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the sequelae, however, the recognition of chronic lesions and with it the implementation of adequate therapeutic management generate improvements in quality of life. This document records a case of inveterate dislocation of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the hallux of more than one year of evolution with involvement of the intersesamoid ligament which was corrected with arthrodesis achieving immediate satisfactory results, in the medium and long term with the subsequent functional recovery and total reduction of pain.
