Digital fractures. A comprehensive review

JM Galant and FA Spinosa
Department of Radiology, New York College of Podiatric Medicine, New York.

Fractures of the phalanges of the feet are the most common types of injury to the forefoot. There is, however, little available literature concerning pedal digital fractures. There is a misconception that fractured toes will heal by themselves. In fact, mistreated digital fractures can lead to many painful and serious complications. A review of the classifications, mechanisms of injury, clinical presentation, complications, and various treatments of digital fractures is presented.
