(17) Examination shows the pain to be located in an intermetatarsal space, typically the third sometimes the second, with radiation to the two adjacent toes.
(18) Roentgenographic analysis in 61 cases showed the operation had reduced the hallux valgus angle by an average of 15 degrees and the intermetatarsal angle by an average of 4 degrees.

Metatarsal
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the metatarsus.
(n.) A metatarsal bone.
Example Sentences:
(1) Operative treatment was used 22 times (5 sesamoid fractures, 5 midtibial fractures, 5 metatarsal V base fractures, 3 tarsal navicular fractures, 3 olecranon fractures, and 1 proximal tibial shaft fracture).
(2) That is, the first metatarsal head moves within a stable support comprised of the base of the proximal phalanx, the sesamoids, soft tissue, and muscle tendons.
(3) Considerable spontaneous correction of deformity can be expected in the younger child (under age 10 years), but one should be aware that sagittal plane and rotational malalignment of the metatarsal heads may cause significant problems.
(4) Radiographic manifestations include endosteal sclerosis of the neurocranium with loss of the diploë, osteosclerosis and hyperostosis of the mandible with absence of the normal antegonial notches, endosteal sclerosis of the diaphyses of long bones (including metacarpals and metatarsals), and osteosclerosis of the pelvis.
(5) Therefore, the plantar forces acting under the metatarsal heads of the 1st, 2nd and 5th rays and under the pads of the 1st and 2nd toes were measured during walking, so that with the aid of anthropometric information pertaining to the forefoot, reaction forces in the flexor tendons and in the joints could be estimated.
(6) Both lower limbs were abnormal: the left had a single slender long bone articulating with the foot, which was markedly dorsiflexed and had only 2 toes; on the right the femur was angulated, the fibula was absent, and only 4 metatarsals were present with 4 toes.
(7) In the metatarsal head, cysts were seen in 40 cases.
(8) BMD of the metatarsal, a weight-bearing bone, showed an interaction between amenorrhea and dancing (exercising) P less than 0.035); surprisingly, dancing was associated with a further lowering of bone density.
(9) This article presents a rare case of GCT of the metatarsal bone and discusses the presentation, distinctive characteristics and treatment of this tumor when it occurs in these locations.
