Patients with persistent midfoot pain, but no radiological evidence of osteoarthritis, might have under-recognized disease in the second and third cuneiform metatarsal joints, according to data published in Arthritis Care and Research.
“We hypothesized that people with midfoot OA and those with persistent midfoot pain without radiographic OA would exhibit a greater prevalence of MRI structural abnormalities compared to asymptomatic controls,” John B. Arnold, PhD, of the Leeds Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Medicine at the University of Leeds, in the United Kingdom, and
