Turf toe is an injury to the main joint of the big toe caused by an excessive hyperextension of the toe. It typically occurs when a person is pushing off into a sprint and the toe gets stuck flat on the ground.

Because turf tends to be harder and less shock absorbent than grass, it does not give as much when forces are applied to it. In addition, the athletic shoes designed for turf are softer and more flexible, providing the athlete with more agility, but much less stability in the forefoot.

Sprains of the big toe joint became especially prevalent in American football players after artificial turf became more common on playing fields—hence, the term "turf toe."

Football players are not the only ones at risk for turf toe, so if you experience any pain or discomfort in your big toe, don't wait to get it checked out! Schedule an appointment with one of our foot and ankle specialists!
