Intermetatarsal Bursitis: A case report (With Accompanying Images)

Abstract

Bursae are normally empty areas that are not filled with synovial fluid when they are in their natural form. Bursae are also referred to as bursa sacs. Bursae are sac-like structures that are sometimes seen in the body's joints. When synovial fluid begins to collect in the bursa, this is a symptom that a mechanical or inflammatory response has taken place in the region. The reaction might have been caused by friction or inflammation. Patients who are afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis often struggle with issues related to their inter-capito-metatarsal bursopathies (RA). The most common symptom is known as metatarsalgia, and it is characterised as a feeling that there is a "stone in the shoe." This condition may be very painful. It seems that the diagnosis is correct, at least according to the results of the magnetic resonance imaging and the ultrasound (MRI).
