Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. John Femiaro discusses the anatomy, mechanism of injury, diagnosis, management, and prevention of turf toe. Turf toe is a sprain of the plantar plate of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint caused by hyperextension or hyperflexion. The severity of the injury is graded from one to three, with grade three injuries often requiring surgery. Treatment options include conservative measures such as orthotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and immobilization, as well as surgical intervention for severe cases. It is emphasized that appropriate precautions, such as wearing proper footwear, can help prevent turf toe. No credits were mentioned in the transcript.
