Unusual Intramedullary Lesion in the Distal Phalanx of the Hallux
Abstract
Intramedullary, eccentrically located space-occupying bone lesions in the short bones of the foot are uncommon. Few cases have been reported in the literature, and to date, such lesions have not been described in the distal phalanx of the hallux. We present one such case, including its clinical and radiological evaluation and therapeutic management.Downloads
