Abstract
Metatarsalgia is an increasingly common condition seen in the outpatient setting.
A number of conservative and surgical management options are available for this condition.
We present an interesting case that was unsuccessfully treated with‘dermal filler.’
To our knowledge, we have not found any published material in peer-reviewed journals
documenting the use of collagen injections in the treatment of metatarsalgia. The
authors feel that the lesson learned from this case should be highlighted for other
foot and ankle surgeons.
