Freiberg\u2019s disease<\/em> is an uncommon condition whereby the blood supply to a metatarsal head within the foot is compromised. Although people of all ages can be diagnosed it is a condition that\u2019s most commonly found in teenage girls, often occurring during the growth spurt of puberty.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item _builder_version=”3.2.2″ title=”What Causes Freiberg\u2019s Disease?” use_background_color_gradient=”off” background_color_gradient_start=”#2b87da” background_color_gradient_end=”#29c4a9″ background_color_gradient_type=”linear” background_color_gradient_direction=”180deg” background_color_gradient_direction_radial=”center” background_color_gradient_start_position=”0%” background_color_gradient_end_position=”100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” background_size=”cover” background_position=”center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_blend=”normal” allow_player_pause=”off” background_video_pause_outside_viewport=”on” text_shadow_style=”none” box_shadow_style=”none” text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em”]<\/p>\n The disease typically presents during the growth spurt at puberty and is likely caused by a loss of blood supply to the end of the bone. This could be caused by repetitive strain on the bone which results in subtle damage or microfractures at the growth plate and results in the bone developing in an abnormal shape.<\/p>\n Symptoms of Freiberg\u2019s Disease include:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item _builder_version=”3.2.2″ title=”What are the Treatment Options for Freiberg\u2019s Disease?” use_background_color_gradient=”off” background_color_gradient_start=”#2b87da” background_color_gradient_end=”#29c4a9″ background_color_gradient_type=”linear” background_color_gradient_direction=”180deg” background_color_gradient_direction_radial=”center” background_color_gradient_start_position=”0%” background_color_gradient_end_position=”100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” background_size=”cover” background_position=”center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_blend=”normal” allow_player_pause=”off” background_video_pause_outside_viewport=”on” text_shadow_style=”none” box_shadow_style=”none” text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em”]<\/p>\n Conservative and surgical treatment options can help in the treatment of Freiberg\u2019s Disease.<\/p>\n Conservative treatments aim to reduce the pressure on the painful toe when patients are active and thus relieve symptoms. This can be through the application of correctly padded insoles and orthoses and supportive footwear.<\/p>\n Pain medication \u2013 such as cortisone injections \u2013 can also be effective to treat symptoms.<\/p>\n If conservative treatment options are unsuccessful then surgical treatment can be considered and Mr. Kannegieter can discuss these options with you.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.0.106″ src=”https:\/\/kannfootsurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/freibergs-clean-400×284.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” module_class=”no-shadow” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” module_class=”cta-shadow” next_background_color=”rgba(224,11,0,0)” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ bottom_divider_style=”slant” bottom_divider_height=”220px” prev_background_color=”#000000″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_cta title=”Make An Appointment With Mr. Kannegieter Today ” button_url=”https:\/\/kannfootsurgery.com\/contact\/” button_text=”Book Now” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”#0e71b8″ background_color_gradient_end=”#04385d” background_color_gradient_direction=”90deg” url_new_window=”off” use_background_color=”on” background_layout=”dark” custom_button=”off” button_icon_placement=”right” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ background_color=”rgba(224,11,0,0)” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ bottom_divider_style=”slant” bottom_divider_color=”#0e71b8″ bottom_divider_height=”220px” prev_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)”][et_pb_row make_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.0.106″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.106″ text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”||0px|”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=”instagram” _builder_version=”3.0.106″]\r\n\n
