Freiberg’s Disease is an osteochondroses which is a disorder with the growing area of the end of one or more of the metatarsal bones in the forefoot. Freiberg’s most commonly affects girls aged 11 to 17 years. It is more common in those who take part in a lot of sports activity. The damage causes a flattening of the metatarsal head.
The usual treatment for Freiberg’s disease is to get weight off the area so that it can heal up. Shoes can help. A shoe that is stiffer in the forefoot and does not bend easily is always helpful. The more rigid show prevent bends of the shoe in the forefoot and prevents the joint from moving so much. One of the treatment options is to use a rigid carbon fiber plate in the shoe to stiffen is, so a more rigid shoe is a less severe option than that.
