Abstract
|
|
|
|
Freiberg disease is a relatively rare osteochondrosis of metatarsal head, which usually involves the 2nd metatarsal of adolescent females. Various open surgical treatments have been recommended; arthrotomy and removal of loose body, dorsiflexion osteotomy and resection of the metatarsal head. Arthroscopic treatment for Freiberg disease has a merit of shortening the recovery period and reducing the postoperative stiffness. We report a case of early stage Freiberg disease treated with metatarsophalangeal arthroscopic excision of loose body and debridement of the 2nd metatarsophalangeal joint.
