Abstract:

 

Aims: Frieberg’s disease is a chronic painful condition characterized by avascular necrosis of metatarsal head. With
 this case report, we aimed to analyze the gait pattern of a case presented with Frieberg’s disease.
 Case Report: A 20-year-old female patient (body weight: 50 kg, height: 1.64 m, body mass index: 18.5 kg/m2
 )
 with a known Frieberg’s disease during the last 6 years is presented. Her physical examinations showed no anatomical
 deformity of the foot such as hallux valgus or pes planus. The diagnosis of chronic stage Frieberg’s disease was verified
 by a conventional posteroanterior X-ray imaging of foot. Gait analysis was performed during a painless period
 after physical and medical therapy. The average pressure distribution during stance phase was altered due to longterm
 protective behavior. There was a larger foot rotation on the affected side compared to the intacted side.
 Conclusion: We considered that this gait pattern is not forced as in the primary pathologies or compensatory.
 Rather it may be accepted as volitional.
