Talk:Metatarsophalangeal joint sprain

note
I have been going through the list of orthopaedic conditions listed as stubs and suggesting this template for Orthopaedic Conditions (see Talk:Orthopedic surgery) Name Definition Synonyms Incidence Pathogenesis and predisposing factors Pathology Stages Classification Natural History/Untreated Prognosis Clinical Features Investigation Non-Operative Treatment Risks of Non-Operative Treatment Prognosis following Non-Operative Treatment Operative Treatment (Note that each operation should have its own wiki entry) Risks of Operative Treatment Prognosis Post Operation Complications Management Prevention History --Mylesclough 06:39, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

I believe it's spelled "metatarsophalangeal." --Rjfleming84 04:36, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

"Death Toe"?
"Because of the benign nick-name of the injury, and its effect on such a small part of the body, it is incorrectly assumed to be an insignificant injury, and many fans poke fun of football players who miss time because of it. Because of this, there is a growing movement in the medical community to rename the injury "death toe".[citation needed]"

This seems HIGHLY improbable. If there is no citation on this, it should be removed from the article speedily.

impossible?
"Use of the toes is not possible during the healing process."

Does that mean that the toes are immobile or that it is unwise to use the toe if one wants to heal? Since it talks of taping and bracing, I would suspect not. Either way, that line should be cleared up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.162.137.100 (talk) 06:29, 11 March 2007 (UTC).

I have had this condition and I believe that the writer's point is that the toe is so painful when placed under stress that the use of it is impossible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.236.149.135 (talk) 13:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
