Abstract:
Freiberg disease is a osteochondrosis of the lesser metatarsal heads. Various surgical treatment have been recommanded including joint debridement and metatarsal head reshaping, metatarsal dorsal wedge osteotomy, metatarsal head excision and joint arthroplasty. Autogenous osteochondral graft for the treatment of Freiberg disease is an effective restorative procedure that provides early range of motion exercise, weight bearing, and reduces other morbidity. We report a case of late stage Freiberg disease treated with arthrotomy, removal of loose body and autogenous osteochondral graft.
