[ 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 ...
Second metatarsal bone elongation, also known as Morton's toe (or Morton's foot) is a normal variation of the second metatarsal present in about 25% of the total population. Although normal, Morton's toe causes extra- inversion of the foot and thereby puts more stress on the lateral part of the meniscus of the knee, promotes lordosis of the ...
Freiberg disease, also known as a Freiberg infraction, is a form of avascular necrosis in the metatarsal bone of the foot. It generally develops in the second metatarsal, but can occur in any metatarsal. Physical stress causes multiple tiny fractures where the middle of the metatarsal meets the growth plate. These fractures impair blood flow to ...
Syndesmosis procedure is one of the more than twenty bunion surgeries currently being performed. While the majority of bunion surgeries involve the breaking and shifting of bones (osteotomy procedures), syndesmosis procedure is one of few surgical techniques that use a soft-tissue or non-osteotomy (non-bone-breaking) approach to afford the same correction.
Bunion. A bunion, also known as hallux valgus, is a deformity of the MTP joint connecting the big toe to the foot. [ 2] The big toe often bends towards the other toes and the joint becomes red and painful. [ 2] The onset of bunions is typically gradual. [ 2] Complications may include bursitis or arthritis.
