This suggests that the second metatarsal was relatively long, and the metatarsal length seemed to influence the onset of metatarsalgia 4. Our previous study showed that index minus is very common in patients with metatarsalgia. 2 Metatarsal bone length discrepancy has received the most attention so far 3. Primary metatarsalgia is regarded as an abnormality related to the anatomy of the metatarsal bones, as well as their relationship with the rest of the foot, and it leads to overload. The first approach to treatment is conservative, and it requires more detailed knowledge of the forefoot condition. Although the exact cause is unclear, the mechanical overload of weight-bearing forces is considered the underlying etiology of primary metatarsalgia 4. Secondary metatarsalgia is associated with metabolic, neurological, postsurgical, or traumatic events. Primary metatarsalgia is idiopathic, but it has been suggested to be related to forefoot plantar compression 2. It is considered a syndrome with primary and secondary causes. It is one of the most common causes of forefoot pain, and it is characterized by pain in the front part of the foot under the head of the metatarsal bones. Metatarsalgia was first described in 1988 as pain in and around the head of the metatarsal or metatarsophalangeal joint and adjacent soft tissues 1. An in-depth understanding of the various etiologies of metatarsal and toe deformities is essential for successful treatment. Toe exercises can improve balance and are worth trying. The combination of the two was appropriate for this condition. If swelling occurred, anti-inflammatory drugs were indicated to reduce inflammation. If the pain was limited to the plantar aspect of the 2nd MTP, a decompression insole was worn. If the pain was localized to the plantar aspect of the 2nd MTP, a decompression insole was applied. If dorsiflexion of the ankle joint was limited, the Achilles tendon was stretched. If toe function was poor, toe exercises were recommended. Pressure reduction or redistribution can be achieved using toe exercise, flat shoe inserts, metatarsal pads, custom-molded inserts, and rockerbars. Because of the various causes of metatarsalgia, there is the need to thoroughly consider the etiology of metatarsalgia to find novel, effective, and conservative treatments for metatarsalgia to avoid surgical treatment. Primary metatarsalgia is idiopathic, but it has been suggested to be related to forefoot plantar compression. Metatarsalgia is one of the most common causes of forefoot pain, and it is characterized by pain in the front part of the foot under the head of the metatarsal bones. Luke's International Hospital, Tokyo, Japan For lack of a better term, the shortened name may seem more practical.Conservative Treatment for Primary Metatarsalgiaĭepartment of Orthopedic Surgery, Foot and Ankle St. In fact, although the term fetlock does not specifically apply to other species' metacarpophalangeal joints (for instance, humans), the "second" or "mid-finger" knuckle of the human hand does anatomically correspond to the fetlock on larger quadrupeds. This term is translated literally as "foot-lock". In many quadrupeds, particularly horses and other larger animals, the metacarpophalangeal joint is referred to as the " fetlock". The muscles of flexion and extension are as follows:įlexor digitorum superficialis and profundus, lumbricales, and interossei, assisted in the case of the little finger by the flexor digiti minimi brevisĮxtensor digitorum communis, extensor indicis proprius, and extensor digiti minimi muscleĪrthritis of the MCP is a distinguishing feature of rheumatoid arthritis, as opposed to the distal interphalangeal joint in osteoarthritis. The movements which occur in these joints are flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction the movements of abduction and adduction are very limited, and cannot be performed while the fingers form a fist. The dorsal surfaces of these joints are covered by the expansions of the Extensor tendons, together with some loose areolar tissue which connects the deep surfaces of the tendons to the bones. collateral ligaments of metacarpophalangeal articulations.palmar ligaments of metacarpophalangeal articulations.
