Metatarsalgia : It’s a general term used to denote a painful foot condition in the metatarsal region of the foot (the area just proximal the toes, more commonly referred as the ball-of-the-foot). This is a disorder that can affect the bones and joints at the plantar forefoot. Often this is accompanied by excessive callus formation over a bony protrusion, and there is severe pain and sensitivity to pressure around the callus.[1,2] | |||

Search Strategy[edit | edit source]
Search in Google, Pubmed, Web of Knowledge and Pedro with keywords: “Metatarsalgia”, “foot” and “forefoot injuries” “orthopedic”. And search in libraries books about the foot, sports medicine, sport anatomy, and forefoot problems. One negative point is that I have not used Pedro to Verified quality of evidence.
