Foot injuries (orthopaedics)
The foot is a complex assembly of bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles. Problems in the foot can arise from accident, trauma, fracture or stress fracture, as well as overuse, osteoarthritis and inflammation. The shape of the foot also often plays a major role. Some conditions result from a flat or hollow foot.
condition
Hallux rigidus
A hallux rigidus is a painful osteoarthritis in the big toe. Wear and tear of the cartilage causes a narrowing of the joint (= osteoarthritis). This results in a painful restriction of movement.
condition
Metatarsalgia
With metatarsalgia, you have pain at the ball of the foot, just before the start of the toes.
condition
Cartilage defects of the ankle
Cartilage defects (osteochondral lesions) of one or more bone parts of the joint can occur due to wear and tear and/or a (sports) injury. It can also occur spontaneously without any apparent cause.
condition
Haglund's exostosis
With a Haglund's exostosis, you have symptoms at the level of the attachment of the Achilles tendon. Pressure on the bone can cause this bone to thicken, creating a protrusion (exostosis).
condition
Hallux valgus
Hallux valgus is a condition in which the big toe (hallux) stands inward (valgus). This occurs in part because ligaments are too flexible, mostly in women. The condition can be congenital (familial) or arises from frequently wearing narrow shoes. Hallux valgus is also more common in people who have flat feet.
