Joints are formed by two adjacent bones and these joints are covered by a capsule where the capsule prevents the joint fluid from leaking out and maintains the optimum mechanical environment for the joint to function.
Most common joint affecting the foot is the 2nd metatarsophalangeal joint.
The 2nd metatarsal is the longest of the five long bones of the foot and oftentimes is accompanied by a short 1st metatarsal. This can cause many issues including transfer metatarsalgia which eventually causes inflammation of the 2nd MPJ capsule.
Abnormal biomechanics of the foot coupled with repetitive microtrauma to the capsule causes connective tissue degeneration. This inflammation causes considerable discomfort and, if left untreated, can eventually lead to a weakening of surrounding ligaments that can cause dislocation of the toe.
