Calcaneus, Foot, and Toe Radiography
Published in Russell L. Wilson, Chiropractic Radiography and Quality Assurance Handbook, 2020
The turf toe is caused by the patient’s shoe gripping an artificial surface during a sudden stop. The foot moves forward in the shoe, resulting in severe dorsi flexion of the toe. The ligaments are usually stretched and the capsule torn. Radiographically, soft tissue swelling will be evident.

Determination of the injury mechanism should raise suspicion about the type of injury. A turf toe is a sprain caused by hyperextension leading to plantar capsule and plantar plate injury. If the force applied is maintained, dislocation may result. Lateral capsule injuries following forced abduction may result in avulsion fracture. Clinical assessment may reveal instability. Radiographic evaluation comprises AP, oblique and lateral radiographs.
Impact attenuation, performance and injury related to artificial turf

‘Turf toe’ is a condition that results from hyperextension of the great toe made possible by the more flexible shoes worn on artificial turf. The type of shoes that are worn tend to be more flexible than the cleats used on grass. While a player’s foot is planted and the first metatarsal phalangeal joint hyperdorsiflexes and the heel is raised up off the ground. During an applied downward force, the great toe is dorsiflexed to an extreme, resulting in a tear of the capsule around the first metatarsal phalangeal joint. This injury is normally treated with rest and often can become a chronic disabling problem. Operative repair can sometimes be successful.

Turf toe is used to classify injuries to the hallux plantar capsule, plantar muscles, and the sesamoid complex caused by forceful hyperextension of the great toe [20]. It is paramount to recognize and treat turf toe early, as these injuries are disabling [21]. Typically, turf toe injuries are most common in athletes. Patients typically have pain at the plantar surface of the first MTP joint that tends to increase with passive extension or resisted flexion of the great toe [16].
