Freiberg disease is an uncommon yet clinically significant condition characterized by osteonecrosis of the metatarsal heads, prominently the second metatarsal. Osteonecrosis leads to flattening and eventual collapse of the metatarsal head, precipitating degenerative changes in the metatarsophalangeal joint and evolving into arthritic manifestations.This course elucidates the nuances of Freiberg disease, highlighting its rarity and positioning avascular necrosis of the second metatarsal as the fourth most common osteochondrosis. Through historical insights and contemporary understanding, clinicians gain a comprehensive understanding of disease patterns, imaging findings, clinical presentations, and evolving management strategies for improved diagnosis and tailored interventions in Freiberg disease.
