Sclerotherapy is one of the leading treatments for the removal of spider veins, reticular veins, and small varicose veins because it is minimally invasive, safe, and relatively pain-free.
The metatarsal bones, or metatarsus are a group of five long bones in the foot, located between the tarsal bones of the hind-and mid-foot and the phalanges of the toes.he base of each metatarsal bone articulates with one or more of the tarsal bones at the tarsometatarsal joints, and the head with one of the first row of phalanges at the metatarsophalangeal joints.
Metatarsal fractures often heal nicely with conservative care, meaning no operation is needed. The foot is wrapped for comfort to decrease swelling and placed in an orthopedic post-op or Reese shoe. Cast boots also may be considered. First metatarsal fractures that are aligned nicely may be treated with a post-op shoe with no weight bearing.
