Os intermetatarseum - Abstract
Background: Painful os intermetatarseum is a very rare condition. Gruber et al first described os intermetatarseum in 1877. This condition is usually asymptomatic. One should consider painful os intermetatarseum as being a possible cause of dorsal foot pain in young athletes. Surgical excision of the os intermetatarseum should be considered for those patients failing conservative treatment.
Methods, Results and Conclusion: Here, a literature review of this condition is presented. There are not figures or tables or outcomes in this literature review.
