The third metatarsal bone is a long bone in the foot. It is the second longest metatarsal, the longest being the second metatarsal. The third metatarsal is analogous to the third metacarpal bone in the hand [1] Like the four other metatarsal bones, it can be divided into three part: base, body and head. The base is the part closest to the ankle ...
Lisfranc injury. A Lisfranc injury, also known as Lisfranc fracture, is an injury of the foot in which one or more of the metatarsal bones are displaced from the tarsus. [ 1][ 2] The injury is named after Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin, a French surgeon and gynecologist who noticed this fracture pattern amongst cavalrymen in 1815, after the War ...
March fracture is the fracture of the distal third of one of the metatarsals occurring because of recurrent stress. It is more common in soldiers, but also occurs in hikers, organists, and people whose duties entail much standing (such as hospital doctors). March fractures most commonly occur in the second and third metatarsal bones of the foot ...
The metatarsal bones or metatarsus ( pl.: metatarsi) are a group of five long bones in the midfoot, located between the tarsal bones (which form the heel and the ankle) and the phalanges ( toes ). Lacking individual names, the metatarsal bones are numbered from the medial side (the side of the great toe ): the first, second, third, fourth, and ...
Tarsometatarsal joints. The tarsometatarsal joints ( Lisfranc joints) are arthrodial joints in the foot. The tarsometatarsal joints involve the first, second and third cuneiform bones, the cuboid bone and the metatarsal bones . The eponym of Lisfranc joint is 18th–19th-century surgeon and gynecologist Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin.
Jones fracture. A Jones fracture is a broken bone in a specific part of the fifth metatarsal of the foot between the base and middle part [ 8] that is known for its high rate of delayed healing or nonunion. [ 4] It results in pain near the midportion of the foot on the outside. [ 2] There may also be bruising and difficulty walking. [ 3]
Morton's neuroma is a benign neuroma of an intermetatarsal plantar nerve, most commonly of the second and third intermetatarsal spaces (between the second/third and third/fourth metatarsal heads; the first is of the big toe), which results in the entrapment of the affected nerve. The main symptoms are pain and/or numbness, sometimes relieved by ...
Stress fracture. A stress fracture is a fatigue-induced bone fracture caused by repeated stress over time. Instead of resulting from a single severe impact, stress fractures are the result of accumulated injury from repeated submaximal loading, such as running or jumping. Because of this mechanism, stress fractures are common overuse injuries ...
