Medial dislocation of the great toe without fracture or sesamoid separation is an unusual event. We are reporting such a case which occurred in a man after a motor vehicle accident. The patient was treated with closed reduction and cast immobilization. The patient recovered all his activities after 30 days. Three-year follow-up showed a complete recovery, clinically and radiographically, with only slight radiographic signs of osteoarthritis, which was present also in the contralateral foot.
