Patient's question:
During this time, my relative's child always told me that his foot was in pain and that he had no strength at all. Later, it became so severe that he couldn't even walk. Until I took him to get checked, they said he had osteochondritis of the metatarsal heads.Doctor's answer:
Hello, osteochondritis dissecans is an aseptic necrosis that occurs in the phalangeal bones. It is more common in adolescents aged 15-16, with females being more affected. It is occasionally seen in adults. Necrosis typically occurs in the second phalangeal bone, occasionally in the third phalangeal bone.
