Abstract
Interphalangeal joints (IPJs) of the toes are synovial hinge joints, with a single sagittal plane of motion allowing flexion and extension. Range of motion of IPJ of the great toe is 0–90°, whereas that for second to fifth toe is variable. IPJ is stabilized by a thick plantar plate, and two strong collateral ligaments run from the lateral aspect of the phalangeal head to the base of the distally articulating phalanx [1]. There are two concave facets with a central ridge at the base of the distal articulating phalanx, conforming to the medial and lateral condyle of the pulley-shaped head of the proximal articulating phalanx. The proximal articular surface is larger than the distal counterpart [2].
