M is for Morton’s Extension
Alternatively, a Morton’s extension in shell is available and is frequently used for Turf Toe. We recommend using polypropylene plate material. This accommodation is often used for severe hallux rigidus, sesamoid fractures, or to promote a more rigid hallux when a transmetatarsal buttress is needed.
Reverse Morton’s extension is padding that is proximal to the second through fifth first metatarsophalangeal joints extending to the sulcus. The first first MPJ is channeled out. The padding is made from a firm material like Korex®, but can be made with other materials. This can help promote dorsiflexion of the hallux.
Confused about Morton’s extensions? We’re here to help.
