In some of the world’s greatest sports such as football, soccer, basketball, etc., injuries are the topic of conversation. How many weeks will the franchise athlete miss with an Achilles tear, knee sprain, Tommy John surgery, or broken bone? However, an injury to the metatarsophalangeal joint, commonly known as Turf Toe, can cause an athlete severe pain leaving star players sidelined for prolonged periods of time. While the increased flexion at the connection between the great or big toe and the bottom of the foot will continue to be present in every high-level sport, understanding the mechanics surrounding this injury might help remediate and treat this pain in the future.
