title: Forefoot pain in the athlete.
abstract: Forefoot pain in the athlete is common. Generally, the symptoms are a result of overuse. The initial treatment strategy is to modify both exercise and shoewear. Specific diagnoses of the problem is key to proper treatment. Usually, the history and physical examination are sufficient, but noninvasive as well as invasive diagnostic testing may be needed.
