Dorsal prominence of the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint in children.
Dorsal prominence of the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint is a pathologic condition found commonly in children as well as adults. Faulty structural and biomechanical framework, aggravated by footgear, results in chronic inflammatory changes in the skin, underlying soft tissue and periosteum. Eventually, proliferative bony changes may take place. Treatment varies according to symptomatic subjective findings.
