Like Walking on a Pebble Capsulitis & Crossover Toe: Like Walking on a Pebble

Capsulitis: Common & Painful Common and painful Usually in the second toe’s joint Treating capsulitis early can Keep it from getting worse Prevent crossover toe

What is Capsulitis? Inflammation of ligaments surrounding the toe These ligaments form a “capsule” The “capsule” helps the joint move properly Inflammation of the ligaments brings pain

A Progressive Condition If untreated, capsulitis gets worse Can weaken the ligaments Can cause dislocation of the toe Early treatment is important

The Final Stage: Crossover Toe Ligaments have been greatly weakened Can no longer stabilize the toe Unstable toe drifts toward big toe Crosses over and lies on the big toe

Why Does Capsulitis Develop? The result of abnormal foot mechanics Places excessive pressure on the ball of the foot Too much pressure irritates and inflames the ligaments Over time, can damage the ligaments

Possible Underlying Causes of Capsulitis Certain conditions can lead to excessive pressure on ball of foot Unstable arch (collapses when standing/walking) Severe bunion Tight calf muscle

Symptoms of Capsulitis in Early Stages Pain in ball of foot Dull ache Feels like a marble in shoe or bunched up sock Pain when either wearing shoes or walking barefoot May have swelling in area of pain

Symptoms in the Later Stages Pain continues Ligaments become weaker Toe becomes unstable Drifts toward big toe Eventually becomes crossover toe Usually occurs over a period of time

When to See a Foot and Ankle Surgeon If you have pain in the ball of the foot Early treatment can Avoid further ligament damage Prevent progression to crossover toe

Diagnosing This Once Unknown Condition Examine foot Look for causes of the capsulitis Evaluate the stability of the joint

Treatment of Capsulitis: Early Stages Undertaken before toe starts to drift Nonsurgical approaches Goals: Stabilize the joint Reduce Symptoms Address underlying cause

Nonsurgical Approaches Rest and ice NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen) Taping or splinting the toe Stretching exercises Shoe modifications Orthotic inserts

Surgery for Crossover Toe A drifting toe will not go back without surgery Various procedures available Sometimes other disorders corrected at the same time Surgical plan selected based on individual’s case

To Get Relief & Avoid Future Problems, Seek Early Treatment for Capsulitis (Place DPM’s contact info here)
