The balls of the feet are known as the metatarsophalangeal joints (MTPJ). The long bones of the forefoot (metatarsals) and the toes (made up of phalanges) form the MTPJ’s. A number of different conditions are known to affect this area.
Metatarsalgia is a broad term used to describe pain in this region (algia = pain). It is therefore not a diagnosis in its own right! as there are many conditions that can cause pain in this region.
