Zusammenfassung:IntroductionPhalanx fractures of the lower limb have high rates of union when manage conservatively. Case ReportA 26-year-old male with fracture of great toe proximal phalanx fracture which was initially managed conservatively with buddy strapping, who missed follow-up and presented late to outpatient department at 6 months with persistence of pain and difficulty in weight bearing. Here, we treated the patient with L-facial plate (2.0 system). ConclusionFracture non-union of proximal phalanx can be managed surgically with L- facial plates and screw and bone grafting which will provide full weight bearing and walk normally without any pain and with adequate range of movements.
