The anterior heel for metatarsalgia in the adult foot.

Abstract:

:A conservative approach to foot problems is especially useful in patients with diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, diminished circulatory changes, and those who are too debilitated for surgical treatment. If one will start with either the medial heel wedge or the anterior heel correction, some response should be evident within 4 to 6 weeks. If the response after a trial period of approximately two to three months for a heel wedge or another two to three months for the anterior heel doesn't relieve pain, then perhaps some other problem might now become easier to localize, i.e. Morton's toe syndrome, hallux valgus, soft or hard corns, or hammertoe deformities. When the anterior heel is prescribed many foot problems other than metatarsalgia will stop being symptomatic and surgery treatment can be bypassed. A physician must know about the supply of shoes in the community and, if necessary, instigate a better inventory of available shoes. In addition, it is necessary to establish good rapport with the shoe repair man so that he will not intrude in your patient rapport or alter your directions. Patients also need advice about losing weight. Frequently a loss of 15 or 20 pounds will change a patient's complaint from one of extremely discomforting daily weight-bearing to a tolerance of a fair amount of walking and at least a reduction of the complaints to a more endurable and functional level. One can't expect the shoe correction to do everything for everyone. The anterior heel isn't the whole solution to the complicated problem but it helps to have patients begin to see results in more comfort in their shoe wear.
