Abstract

Thirty cases of torso-metatarsal joint disruptions are presented, all of which occurred in head-on automobile collisions. With two exceptions, all patients were occupants of the front seat. It appears that such an injury may occur when the foot is directed forward into the sloping toe pan or the firewall at time of impact.
