2nd-5th row, proximal phalanx, base, intraarticular, T-type

These fractures usually result from low impact injury (such as stubbing the toe) or low impact crush.

Conventional radiographs of the forefoot/second toe. AP and lateral oblique views are sufficient for diagnosis and treatment.

The image shows an x-ray of comminuted base of first and second proximal phalanges.

The clinical picture includes swelling, ecchymosis, and pain with range of motion of the MTP joint. In some fractures, a deformity may be present.
