Metatarsalgia, or pain in the metatarsal region of the foot, is a common orthopaedic problem, but is generally less well understood than pain in the toes, ankle or heel. The cause of metatarsal pain is often less apparent than in other regions of the foot, and in many cases plain X-rays are of no help. Morton's neuroma, a common cause of severe metatarsalgia, can usually only be diagnosed from the history and clinical examination. The key to diagnosis in the metatarsal region is to have a clear knowledge of the most likely conditions.
