Painful os intermetatarseum is a very rare condition. Gruber et al. first described os intermetatarseum in 1877. This condition is usually asymptomatic. One should consider painful os intermetatarseum as being a possible cause of dorsal foot pain in athletes. Surgical excision of the os intermetatarseum should be considered for those patients failing conservative treatment. Here, a literature review of this condition is presented.
跖间骨痛是一种非常罕见的病症。Gruber 等人于 1877 年首次描述了跖间骨痛。这种病症通常没有症状。对于运动员的足背部疼痛，应考虑跖间骨痛为可能的病因。对于那些经保守治疗无效的患者，应考虑手术切除跖间骨。现对该病的文献进行回顾。
