Freiberg disease is characterized as osteochondrosis of the second metatarsal head. It is the fourth most common form of primary osteochondrosis with a significant predilection to the adolescent athletic female population, although it has been seen over a wide age range. If treated early, osteochondroses such as Freiberg disease are essentially self-limiting, often resolving with nonoperative management. When surgery is warranted, it is imperative the patient's age, activity level, and degree of articular deformity be taken into account.
弗赖贝格病的特征是第二跖骨头骨软骨病。它是原发性骨软骨病的第四种最常见形式，明显好发于青春期从事体育运动的女性人群，不过在广泛的年龄范围内都有发现。如果早期治疗，像弗赖贝格病这样的骨软骨病本质上是自限性的，通常通过非手术治疗即可痊愈。当需要进行手术时，必须考虑患者的年龄、活动水平和关节畸形程度。
