Less Common Conditions

Brachymetatarsia is a relatively rare condition that occurs when one or more of the toe bones is significantly shorter than the others.

Plantar fasciitis pain can sometimes be a pinched nerve that runs along the ankle and into the bottom of the heel that is also known as Baxter's neuritis.

Foot drop, also called drop foot, is a term used to describe difficulty lifting the front part of the foot.

Two Peroneal Tendons are behind the outside ankle and stabilize the joint outward. These weaker muscles and tendons are prone to injury from ankle turns and rolls.

Cartilage damage of the ankle (osteochondral lesion of the talus) occurs from a traumatic fracture or ankle sprain. The bones hit against each other when the injury occurs, damaging the cartilage surface.

The tarsal tunnel is located inside the ankle next to the ankle bones. When this nerve is squeezed, or compressed, it results in tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS).
