Midfoot osteoarthritis

Over time, the many joints of the foot can suffer arthritis through wear and tear. When this occurs in the midfoot, symptoms can include aching and bony bumps over the top of the foot. Left untreated, this can cause the foot arches to flatten and make the midfoot turn outward.

Treatment options include supportive orthotic devices, physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medicines, and selective X-ray guided joint injections. If these treatments are unsuccessful, we may consider fusion of midfoot joints, which can provide good pain relief.
