Pronation of the foot is when the sole of the foot is turned out so that they weight is more on the inner edge. This is also called eversion. Technically it is defined as when the plantar aspect of the foot is turned away from the sagittal plane, or the medial line.

What are the long term effects of Freiberg's disease?

I injured my 2nd metatarsophalangeal joint at age 13, had surgery one year later. The area was left numb, tingling, burning and area swolen and red (that was 45 yrs ago). The toe stuck up for years and only recently has come down. My pad or ball of foot has fallen. I wore custom made orthotics for years and it helped with the pain and overpronation of the foot and limp. I was to have more surgery on it 20 years ago and never did. I stopped wearing orthotics due to poverty. I now walk with a very pronounced limp, a chronic painful foot, numbness, burning, swelling, achilles tendonosis, over pronation of foot, shin pain and calf pain. My other foot has compensated for this deformity and over the years is now over pronating. Causes a multitude of problems...hip, knee, and back pain due to the misalignment of the feet when walking. Have the surgery to correct it!
