Morton's Foot Syndrome: A Case Report and Overview

Morton's foot syndrome is a hereditary condition characterized by a short first metatarsal compared to the second metatarsal. It often remains asymptomatic but can present with secondary complications. We report a case of a 46-year-old female presenting with Morton's foot syndrome, initially admitted for fatigue and weakness. Physical examination revealed characteristic foot deformities and multiple plantar calluses. This case highlights the anatomical features, pathophysiology, and biomechanical implications of Morton's foot syndrome. We discuss the challenges in differentiating between normal foot structure and Morton's foot, along with potential complications and strategies for effective management. This case report enhances understanding of Morton's foot syndrome, emphasizing the importance of recognizing this condition in clinical practice to prevent potential complications and provide appropriate management.
