RESUMEN
Freiberg's infraction is not widely seen but can occur among young athletes. Its symptoms and radiographic signs may mimic stress fractures, as in the 12-year-old female dancer described here. This condition, an osteochondrosis that most commonly affects the second metatarsal, is diagnosed with plain radiography. Treatment typically involves immobilization or off-loading to eliminate pain, use of orthoses, and a gradual return to weight-bearing activity.
