Forefoot problems in athletes
Article Abstract:
Forefoot injuries in athletes are a result of trauma or overuse. Some foot abnormalities can contribute to sports-induced forefoot problems, such as metatarsal stress fractures, interdigital neuroma, sesamoid pathology, metatarsalgia, hallux rigidus, hallux valgus, and turf toe. Anatomy and biomechanics of the forefoot are presented, followed by diagnostic and treatment guidelines.
