Commmon Disorders
Extensor Tendonitis
The extensor tendons to the foot come from the relatively small muscles in the front of the leg. The two main extensor muscles are the;Extensor Hallucis Longus muscle;(EHL) and the;Extensor Digitrorum Longus muscle;(EDL).
Hammertoes
Hammertoes are a contracture of the toes as a result of a muscle imbalance between the tendons on the top and the tendons on the bottom of the toe. They can be flexible or rigid in nature.
Charcot Joint Disease (Neuroarthropathy)
Charcot joint disease was given its name by the French neurologist Jean-Marie Charcot in 1868. He noted a bizarre pattern of bone destruction in patients with tertiary syphilis and absent sensation.
Plantar Fasciitis – Arch Pain
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of a thick, fibrous ligament in the arch of the foot called the plantar fascia.If this ligament is stretched excessively it will become inflamed and begin to cause pain.
Peroneal Tendonitis
Pain on the outside of the foot can be the result of inflammation of the peroneal tendons. In children this can cause tenderness at the base of the fifth metatarsal, which is located in the middle of the outside of the foot.
Plantar Fibromas – Lumps in the Arch of the Foot
On the plantar, or bottom surface of the foot, they are called plantar fibromas. Unlike plantar warts, which grow on the skin, these grow deep inside on a thick fibrous band called the plantar fascia.
