A 42-year-old woman makes an appointment with an orthopedist after experiencing a shooting or piercing pain in her foot when walking. She arrives on time and is taken to an examination room in the back of the office. As she walks by, the physician notes that she is wearing stilettos with a heel that at least 3 inches tall. The physician enters the examination room and asks the woman what has brought her in for a visit. She explains that she has recently noticed a sharp pain in her foot. When asked how often she wears high heels, she answers, "Daily." After a brief examination of her legs and feet, the orthopedist orders an x-ray image of her foot and ankle. When he reviews the image, he notes an incomplete crack in one of the women's metatarsals, the bones in the forefoot.
