ABSTRACT
Metatarsalgia is pain arising from the metatarsal heads. Any condition which causes dorsal subluxation and clawing of the toes may cause the transfer of load from the toes to the metatarsal heads with consequent pain. Painful metatarsal heads may also occur from Freiberg’s infraction and march fracture. Morton’s metatarsalgia is caused by an interdigital neuroma.
