| The tarsometatarsal joint is the most common site for arthropathy, with initial involvement usually occurring on the medial column of the foot. |
| All control specimens were obtained from healthy young adults who met the same exclusion criteria undergoing first tarsometatarsal arthrodesis for distal hallux deformity via Lapidus fusion. |
| A rigid abnormality was caused by subluxation of the tarsometatarsal joint with subluxation of the metatarsals. |
| Modifications of the tarsometatarsal joints point to habitual use of a kneeling posture in which the feet were supported on the dorsiflexed toes. |
| It will be seen that the axis passes vertically through the body and ends in the foot in an area which is just anterior to the tarsometatarsal joints. |
| Comparison of the clinical mobility test of the first tarsometatarsal joint with Doppler Imaging of Vibrations measurement of the stiffness of this joint in hallux valgus patients. |
