Abstract
Pain in the second metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) is a complaint frequently encountered by foot and ankle specialists. The pathology associated with this joint is often painful and debilitating for the patient. In the past, typical treatment protocols for second MTPJ pathology were aimed at relief of patient symptoms. Conservative treatment and offloading devices have historically dominated treatment options for the clinician. However, recent surgical techniques and procedures have been developed to correct the mechanical and structural defects that can affect this joint. The aim of this review was to outline recent developments and treatment options for common second MTPJ pathologies.
