| Résumé : |
Two theories exist in the development of central or transfer metatarsalgia.
• First, as the severity of hallux valgus increases, there is mechanical overload of the second metatarsal. • Second, increased relative lesser metatarsal length is thought to contribute to metatarsalgia. • It is imperative, in the treatment of first ray disorders (hallux valgus or hallux rigidus), to not overshorten the first ray when addressing the first ray pathologic condition. • Treatment of metatarsalgia in the setting of failed hallux valgus correction can be treated with both conservative and surgical options. |
