Plantar dislocation of the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint is an extremely rare injury. To the best of our knowledge, there are no previous reports in the literature of an isolated dislocation of this type requiring open reduction and surgical repair. In this case report, we describe the clinical and operative findings and discuss in detail our surgical technique for the successful management of this unusual injury.
