AIMS: @entity2950 is common condition of the forefoot, but its aetiology remains unclear. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between the width of the forefoot and the development of a @entity2950 . @entity1 AND METHODS: Between January 2013 and May 2016, a total of 84 consecutive @entity1 (17 @entity1 , 67 @entity1 ) with a unilateral @entity2950 were enrolled into the study. The involved and uninvolved feet of each @entity1 were compared. A control group of @entity1 with symptoms from the foot, but without a @entity2950 who were matched for age, gender, affected side, and web space location, were enrolled. The first to fifth intermetatarsal distance, intermetatarsal angle and intermetatarsal distance of involved web space on standing radiographs were assessed. RESULTS: The inter- and intra-observer reliability was excellent. The three parameters did not differ significantly between the involved and uninvolved feet. Neither did they differ significantly between the @entity1 and the controls. CONCLUSION: We conclude that there is no significant relationship between the width of the forefoot and the development of a @entity2950 . Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99- @entity69416 .
