Freiberg\u2019s disease is a relatively uncommon disorder that affects the joints of metatarsals (the bones that extend from the arch of your foot to your toes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The disease is associated with the gradual collapse or disintegration of the joint surfaces between the metatarsals as well as the formation of abnormal joint tissue. Symptoms include chronic history of forefoot pain, foot stiffness, and walking with a limp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The specific events or factors that cause Freiberg\u2019s disease are not completely understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, there are several risk factors for the disease, which include age and gender (Freiberg\u2019s disease occurs most often in female adolescents and young women, although the disease can occur in any person at any age), excessively long metatarsals, and foot trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, the outcomes of both non-operative and operative management are good to excellent and most patients are able to return to previous activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8119,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"condition-category":[183,184],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fact-sheets\/7463"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fact-sheets"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fact-sheets"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fact-sheets\/7463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"condition-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footcheck.yourfootpain.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/condition-category?post=7463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
