Problem #1: Osteoarthritis. Often referred to as the âwear and tearâ arthritis, osteoarthritis is caused by the wearing down of the protective cartilage that covers the ends of your bones. On your foot, it is most likely to strike at the joints where your toes meet your foot (metatarso-phalangeal or inter-phalangeal).
Between the heads of the metatarsal bones and the bottoms of the proximal phalanges (your toe bones) are the metatarsophalangeal joints. In other words, metatarsophalangeal joints connect your toe bones to your foot bones. These joints are surrounded by a thin joint capsule and have ligaments that support them. It's good to know, too, that the first metatarsophalangeal joint is commonly known as the big toe joint while the little toe joint is known as the fifth metatarsophalangeal joint. 1  The first metatarsal (big toe) also articulates with (or connects with) two sesamoid bones on the plantar surface of the foot (the bottom of the foot).
