Initial evaluation with weight-bearing radiographs is essential, allowing precise analysis of the architecture of the foot. Ultrasound is useful for soft tissue and tendon examination and provides the best clinical correlation. Computed Tomography provides detailed bone assessment and is helpful for pre-operative planning. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the gold standard modality, offering superior soft tissue contrast. The common causes of metatarsalgia include hallux pathologies (hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, and sesamoid issues), bursitis (intermetatarsal and subcapitellar), Morton\u2019s neuroma, second ray syndrome, stress fractures, and systemic pathologies affecting the foot. Combining clinical and imaging data is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management of metatarsalgia. Post-traumatic causes of metatarsalgia are beyond the scope of this article and will not be described.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Critical relevance statement<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Metatarsalgia, the pain of the forefoot, necessitates accurate imaging for diagnosis and management.
