Capsulitis is a common cause of pain to the ball of the foot known as the forefoot. The term capsulitis refers to inflammation of the joint capsule in the forefoot region most often involving the metatatarsalphalangeal joint to the second toe as shown in figure 1. The joint capsule anatomically is a fibrous tissue that surrounds the joint and holds the synovial fluid that lubricates the joints. The cause of capsulitis is generally related to abnormal stresses placed on the joint capsular tissues in the forefoot region.
