Résumé

Closed traumatic dislocation of multiple metatarsophalangeal joints is a rare injury. Until now only one case of simultaneous dislocation of all five metatarsophalangeal joints has been reported in peer-reviewed studies. The complex anatomy of the metatarsophalangeal joints prevents the relocation of the joints in a closed manner in maximum cases. We are reporting a case of dorsal dislocation of the second to fifth metatarsophalangeal joints in the left foot after road traffic accident. Bony prominence over the plantar aspect and increased web space between toes on presentation, then incongruity of metatarsophalangeal joints has to be thoroughly checked on radiograph. Since closed reduction attempts failed open reduction was done through dorsal approach using two incisions. Button holing of the capsule with interposition of capsule and plantar plate was noted. Dorsal approach avoids damage to the plantar plate and surrounding soft tissues.
