Freiberg's Infraction in a Geriatric Patient - A Case Report

Daniel Pollack, DPM, FACFAS*

Foot and Ankle Center of Fort Lee, Queens, New York, USA

Abstract

Freiberg's infraction is characterized by pain in the forefoot caused by osteonecrosis, and most commonly found in adolescent females. I present here a case report of a 78-year-old female with Freiberg's infraction of the second metatarsal head in order to focus on a rare cause of foot pain among geriatric patients and its management.
