Correction of Crossover Toe Deformity by Plantar Plate Tenodesis and Arthroscopic Release of Lumbrical.


ABSTRACT: Plantar plate deficiency is the major cause of instability of the metatarsophalangeal joint. As the joint subluxates dorsally, the lumbrical is tethered on the medial side of the joint by the deep metatarsal ligament and becomes a deforming force for the development of crossover toe deformity. Release of the lumbrical is needed to achieve adequate medial soft-tissue release. Plantar plate tenodesis has been described to correct the deformity by suturing the plantar plate to the extensor digitorum longus tendon. The purpose of this Technical Note is to incorporate the technique of arthroscopic release of the lumbrical tendon into the technique of plantar plate tenodesis.
