In such situations, the toe is strained against the front of the shoe and results in an abnormal twist.

Physical examination: Assessment of pain, swelling, and range of motion in the affected foot. Radiography : X-rays may reveal flattening, sclerosis, or fragmentation of the metatarsal head. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) : Provides detailed images of soft tissue and bone changes, particularly useful in early stages of the disease.
Stress fractures of the foot are sometimes called "march fractures" because of the injury's prevalence among heavily marching soldiers. [2] Stress fractures most frequently occur in weight-bearing bones of the lower extremities, such as the tibia and fibula (bones of the lower leg), calcaneus (heel bone), metatarsal and navicular bones (bones ...
Mueller–Weiss syndrome, also known as Mueller–Weiss disease, is a rare [2] idiopathic degenerative disease of the adult navicular bone characterized by progressive collapse and fragmentation, leading to mid- and hindfoot pain and deformity. [3] [1] It is most commonly seen in females, ages 40–60. [4]
Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is a nerve compression syndrome or nerve entrapment syndrome causing a painful foot condition in which the tibial nerve is entrapped as it travels through the tarsal tunnel.

Oblique view X-ray in a 45-year-old male diabetic revealed a divergent, Lisfranc dislocation of the first metatarsal with associated lesser metatarsal fractures. The same 45-year-old man with diabetes mellitus presented with a diffusely swollen, warm and non-tender left foot due to Charcot arthropathy. There are no changes to the skin itself.
