Abstract

A first metatarsophalangeal joint injection is a very useful diagnostic and therapeutic technique used in a range of pathologies afflicting this joint. We describe a novel technique for obtaining accurate intraarticular needle positioning which is simple to perform and avoids the morbidity associated with multiple injection attempts.
