10. Prognosis
In most cases, if the patient adheres to treatment and management, both surgically and conservatively managed patients can usually return to the preinjury level of function. Some studies have shown that those with operative repair, especially among professional athletes, have led to good results.
Currently, the incidence of persistent symptoms have been shown to be as high as 50% 5 years after injury. Despite having a better definition for injuries in the feet, there is little information regarding the management of chronic injuries. Turf toe injury should be diagnosed and treated properly as it could lead to complications if mismanaged.
