There are many conditions that have the potential to produce the symptom of pain in the metatarsal and midfoot regions. Pathologic processes that cause pain include post-traumatic disorders, circulatory disorders, arthritides, neuroarthropathy, and conditions that result in a biomechanical imbalance in the foot. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a powerful imaging tool since it provides a noninvasive method for diagnosis of different foot disorders. In this article, we will discuss the MR manifestation of a number of pathologic entities that elicit foot pain as a primary symptom.
Both chronic as well as acute foot and ankle pain are common indications for visits to general practitioners, rheumatologists, and orthopedic surgeons. The causes for foot and ankle pain are varied and can include osseous pathology (fractures), yet the far greater majority are secondary to soft-tissue injuries and inflammation. Regional corticosteroid injections, traditionally performed using anatomic landmarks, can be inaccurate and miss intended targets. The use of ultrasound for guidance for interventional radiologic procedures is well known, including guidance for vascular as well as visceral interventions. Using sonography to guide for interventions in the musculoskeletal system, specifically the foot and ankle, yields accurate placement of the needle tip and subsequent anesthetic/steroid injection as well as diagnostic aspiration of tendon sheaths, joint spaces, and bursae.
