Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Various patterns of injuries to foot are described in the literature but the sagittal cut injury of foot with a cut starting from the 3rd toe; then extending between 2nd and 3rd metatarsals, middle and lateral cuneiform; exiting by splitting of calcaneum and talus with a near total traumatic amputation of great toe while handling a machine is yet to be described in the english literature to our knowledge. • We managed this foot by fixing the fractures and reconstructing the foot.
