Causes of Turf Toe
Turf toe occurs when the big toe is forced to extend beyond its normal range of motion. This hyperextension can be caused by:
- Standing on the balls of your feet as another person falls onto you, causing your big toe to hyperextend
- Stopping suddenly when running, causing your big toe to slide into the end of your shoe and bends up and backward as you go forward
