Abstract
Metatarsalgia is a clinical syndrome characterized by pain in the forefoot. To understand the physiopathogenesis and treatment of this condition, an understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the foot is essential. There are a large number of causes of metatarsalgia and some, such as rheumatoid arthritis, may be highly complex. The use of ortheses should be individualized and adjusted to the diagnosis. To prevent this condition, the use of appropriate footwear is essential.
