Summary
Osteochondritis dissecans of the first metatarsal head can be painfully disabling
in the adolescent. It may be the forerunner of adolescent and adult hallux rigidus.
Arthroscopic surgical treatment of this osteochondritis dissecans lesion is technically
feasible. The case reported here suggests that arthroscopic treatment, at an early
stage, can render a patient symptom-free and allow a return to full activity.
