[Husker] Turf Toe

[j j]

It commonly happens when a player is running and someone comes down on their heal and forces the big toe into the turf. About the only way to insure it wont happen is to not play....It is most common in football do to the constant contact but can happen in other sports.

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.
