Abstract
Ten patients with 11 cases of Freiberg's infraction were studied retrospectively. The patients had varying amounts of sports participation. All cases were treated surgically, most after some form of nonoperative inter vention. Surgery consisted of metatarsophalangeal joint debridement, except in 1 patient where the meta tarsal head was resected. All patients had improvement of their symptoms and 80% of normal joint range of motion was restored. No patient had joint space nar rowing or major arthritic changes on follow-up roent genographic studies.
