Dorsal dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint.

Traumatic dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is a rare clinical finding. Ability to reduce the dislocation by nonoperative measures depends largely on the type of dislocation and involvement of the sesamoid complex. A brief description of the incidence, anatomy, and pathomechanics of dorsal dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is given. A report of a 33-year-old female with complete dorsal dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and anatomically preserved sesamoid complex is provided.

The Keller-Austin bunionectomy.

The authors present the combined use of the Keller bunionectomy with the Austin osteotomy in select cases. Severe degenerative joint disease and metatarsus primus varus with fair to good bone stock are the major criteria. This procedure offers an alternative for the elderly patient who is not a candidate for joint salvage, implant or base osteotomy. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative biomechanical evaluations are essential to the success of this procedure.
