Local steroid injections are frequently administered to patients with refractory metatarsalgia. No reports have described dislocation of the second and third metatarsophalangeal joints after local steroid injections. A 46-year-old woman had suffered from metatarsalgia and received multiple local steroid injections for over 2 years. The second and third metatarsophalangeal joints revealed dorsal dislocations on the lateral radiograph. Therefore, collateral ligament reconstruction of the metatarsophalangeal joints was performed. Intraoperative findings suggested that the rupture of the plantar plate may have caused dorsal dislocation of both joints. Thus, unnecessary multiple steroid injections around the lesser metatarsophalangeal joint should be avoided.
