Crossover Toe (Capsulitis 2nd Toe)

Crossover Toe — Treatment

Quick Answer: Crossover toe occurs when the second toe drifts over the big toe due to capsulitis and plantar plate damage. Treatment includes taping, metatarsal pads, and orthotics. Surgery for severe cases — plantar plate repair.

Plantar Plate Repair

Modern surgery preserves natural anatomy by repairing the plantar plate ligament. We perform this in both rigid and flexible deformities.

FAQ

Can I prevent crossover toe?

Treat 2nd MTP capsulitis early — before the plantar plate ruptures. Don’t ignore persistent ball-of-foot pain.
