Abstract
1. Experiments show relative weakness of the second metatarsal epiphysis at a certain stage of epiphysial maturation. 2. It is shown that at this stage Freiberg's infraction is likely to occur. 3. It has been demonstrated that even gross comminution with disruption of the articular cartilage of the second metatarsal head is compatible with a radiograph of almost normal appearance.
