Abstract
With the current data concentrating on different operative treatment options for plantar plate tears, few data can be found on possible nonoperative treatment strategies for this entity and the specifics of such treatment. In the present case report, the successful nonoperative treatment of a patient with a rupture of the plantar plate in a lesser toe metatarsophalangeal joint is presented. The patient was followed up using repeat clinical examinations and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging scans for 1 year after the imitation of therapy to provide information on the different stages of the healing process.
