Abstract:
Forefoot injuries are common occurrences demanding appropriate detection and treatment to ensure optimal functional outcome . Missed or mismanaged care leads to morbid sequelae complicating the management. Assessment for concomitant bony and soft tissue injuries holds due importance for uneventful recovery . Often the metatarsal fractures of central region are multiple, second to fourth, and the presence of little toe metatarso -phalangeal (MTP) dislocation with it makes it a rare injury pattern here managed successfully with appropriate management.
