Xanthomas of the Achilles tendon: report of a bilateral case and review of the literature.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Stress fractures at the base of the second metatarsal frequently occur in female classical dancers. There is a strong belief that a foot shape in which the first metatarsal or toe is shorter than the second metatarsal or toe increases the risk of this injury in dancers. However, there is a lack of empirical ...
