What is Turf Toe?
Turf Toe is the name given to the hyperextension (overextension) of the big toe joint. 
In extreme cases, the ligament fibers actually tear and the joint capsule is damaged. 
This painful condition is located under the ball of the foot and sometimes slightly towards the bottom midsection of the big toe. 
Inflammation of the ligaments and joint capsule can range from mild to intense. Some discoloration may be visible, if the tissues are bruised.
