PART 2Client’s Secondary Injuries
11/22/05 Consult with Dr.Client was told he needed surgery on 1st, 4th , and 5th toes.
02/16/06Surgery: 1st, 4th, 5th toes
BIG TOE (1st):Incision was made over the 1st joint.Bone was drilled at the center to open a space for the implant. See post op x-ray. LITTLE TOE (5th): Incision made over 5th joint revealed healing fracture. Bone was cut away from the head of the metatarsal and the base of the phalanx. A Silastic implant was installed.
4TH TOE: Incision over capsule and periosteum revealed “4th metatarsal head has healthy good cartilage” that demonstrated “gliding motion” and had “good range of motion”
