Foot disorders. Artwork of a human foot showing the disorders: stress fracture,Morton's metatar- salgia,onychogryphosis and hallux valgus. At lower centre is a stress fracture of the second metatarsal bone. Stress fractures are caused by repeated jarring of the bone. Morton's metatar- salgia (mauve,lower centre) is a benign tumour affecting the digital nerve and causing painful pressure.
