Abstract

Closed degloving injuries of the toes are rare due to their short length, protection in shoes, and general lack of adornment. When these injuries occur, neurovascular compromise can lead to a loss of viability of the toe. Prompt recognition and successful reduction are necessary to maintain normal structure and function.
