In recent years, direct plantar plate repair has been proposed. Although direct repair via a dorsal approach is attractive, a torn plantar plate is small and difficult to access using regular instruments in a restricted operative field.enDorsal approach; Hammer toe deformity; Lesser metatarsophalangeal joint instability; Metatarsalgia; Plantar plate tearjournal article10.1186/s12891-021-04951-w349800552-s2.0-85122188077WOS:000738048500026https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85122188077
