Lesser toe disorders are an often under-appreciated source of pain and disability in athletes. Patients may have significant symptoms from corns, hammertoe and mallet toe deformities, and metatarsalgia resulting from neuromas and metatarsophalangeal joint instability. Although patients may present with vague symptoms, a careful history and physical examination will point a clinician to an accurate diagnosis. Treatment of these lesser toe disorders is straightforward and leads to predictably good results.
小趾疾病在运动员中常常是一个未得到充分重视的疼痛和功能障碍来源。患者可能因鸡眼、槌状趾和锤状趾畸形以及神经瘤和跖趾关节不稳定导致的跖痛症而出现明显症状。尽管患者可能表现出模糊的症状，但仔细的病史询问和体格检查会使临床医生做出准确的诊断。这些小趾疾病的治疗方法简单直接，且能带来可预见的良好效果。
