  • Title: Metatarsalgia in Metatarsus Adductus Patients: A Rational Approach.
    Author: Varacallo M, Aiyer A.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Clin; 2019 Dec; 24(4):657-667. PubMed ID: 31653370.
    Abstract:
    Metatarsus adductus (MA) is a congenital condition resulting in adduction of the forefoot at the tarsometatarsal joint, medial metatarsal deviation, supination of the hindfoot through the subtalar joint, and plantarflexed first ray. The exact underlying pathophysiology remains elusive. There is increasing evidence highlighting the importance of recognizing MA as an associated deformity that complicates management of hallux valgus (HV). Unfortunately, metatarsalgia and lesser toe pathology is also common in this population. We present a review regarding the epidemiology, pathomechanics, and a comprehensive surgical treatment algorithm to optimize the management of patients with MA, HV, lesser toe deformity, and metatarsalgia.
