case_images: (a) Anteroposterior and (b) lateral radiographs demonstrating irreducible dislocation of interphalangeal joint of hallux, sesamoid was entrapped within joint.

case_images: IPJ of right hallux. In addition, sesamoid was observed as entrapped within the IPJ (Figure 1).
case_images: (a) A stab incision performed on dorsomedial side of joint. (b) Sesamoid-plantar plate complex was pushed with blunt side of K-wire by hand under fluoroscopic guidance.

case_images: Then, the blunt side of a 1.5 mm K-wire was introduced into the IPJ through the incision (Figure 2a). The sesamoid-plantar plate complex was pushed with the blunt side of the K-wire by hand under fluoroscopic guidance (Figure 2b, Figure 3).
case_images: An illustration demonstrating percutaneous reduction technique. Blunt side of a 1.5 mm K-wire was introduced into interphalangeal joint of hallux through incision performed on dorsomedial side of joint. Sesamoid-plantar plate complex was pushed gently with blunt side of K-wire by hand until sesamoid-plantar plate complex was reduced to its original location.

case_images: The sesamoid-plantar plate complex was pushed with the blunt side of the K-wire by hand under fluoroscopic guidance (Figure 2b, Figure 3).
case_images: Reduction of interphalangeal joint of hallux was confirmed with fluoroscopy on (a) anteroposterior and (b) lateral views.

case_images: However, the IPJ was clinically unstable thus temporary arthrodesis was performed to the IPJ with a K-wire (Figure 4).
case_images: (a) Anteroposterior and (b) lateral radiographs of interphalangeal joint of hallux showed good alignment with congruent joint at sixth week of follow-up.

case_images: At sixth week of follow-up, radiographs of his right IPJ showed good alignment with congruent joint (Figure 5) thus K-wire was removed.
