Abstract
Mallet hallux injuries are relatively rare, and management can range from conservative treatment to surgical fixation. Only a few cases of surgically treated are reported, and there is no consensus on the superiority of one technique to others in surgical treatment. We reviewed various options for surgical fixation of Mallet hallux injury and presented a case of mallet hallux injury treated with Kirschner wires with an extension blocking technique.Level of Evidence: V.
