Forefoot pain after prolonged or strenuous exercise

Introduction

Introduction Patients with fatigue fractures of the tibia often have forefoot pain after prolonged or strenuous exercise, and disappear after a few seconds of rest. In the subsequent training, the pain occurred earlier and more severely, so that it could not be exercised. Even in bed, there was pain, and touching the swollen part caused pain.

Cause

Cause

1. Chronic injury and long-term concentrated stress are the conditions for fatigue fracture.

2. This patient found in the X-ray film that most patients had a short first tibia and a relatively long second metatarsal. In addition, the clinical examination revealed that the bone structure between the first and second metatarsal bones was loose. In this way, the negative focus of the foot is transferred from the first metatarsal head to the second metatarsal head, but the first metatarsal trunk of the second metatarsal shaft is slender and thin, so fatigue fracture is prone to occur.

X-rays usually do not show fractures, and even after 2 to 3 weeks, the callus is formed. Usually the bismuth diphosphate bone scan is helpful for diagnosis.
