| Core Tip |
Although idiopathic avascular necrosis (AVN) of the first metatarsal head is uncommon, its risk factors and clinical management can vary widely between sites. The present case of AVN of the first metatarsal head occurred in a 24-year-old female adult with pain in the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Initially, conservative treatment with analgesics did not show much improvement in relieving pain. However, after continuous treatment for 2 mo, the swelling subsided with reduced pain. After 4-mo of follow-up monitoring, improved range of motion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint was observed, but the pain had disappeared. No other complications developed during 18-mo of follow-up monitoring. The purpose of this case report is to indicate that an efficient and precise diagnosis of the patient’s case is important as it significantly changes the prognosis and management for such a condition. |
