Various osteochondroses which affect the ossification centers of the bone such as:

Osgood–Schlatter Disease – active children aged 10–15 years more prevalent in males than females, characterized by local pain, swelling and tenderness over tibial tubercle (knee).

Sever’s Disease – usually 8 –15 years, characterized by pain on palpation of posterior plantar aspect of calcaneus (heel).

Kohler’s Disease – most commonly in ages 3 –9, more prevalent in males than females, characterized by vague pain and tenderness localized over the navicular (midfoot) and is usually unilateral.

Freiberg’s Disease – can affect any metatarsal head, but 2nd is most common (70%) pain experienced usually on the dorsum, usually ages 11–17, more prevalent in females than males.

Diaz or Mouchet’s Disease – osteochondrosis of the talus; rare; probably associated with acute trauma in which there is compression of dome of talus; bone often remodels to a normal shape.

Buschke’s Disease – osteochondrosis of the cuneiforms. Very rare.

Osteochondroses of Os Navicular – has been described as affecting this joint; needs to be differentiated from other pathology of os navicularis/accessory navicular.

Iselins Disease’ – osteochondrosis of the 5th metatarsal base at attachment of peroneus brevis; need to differentiate from a stress fracture, os vesaleanum or fracture; pain increases on tension on peroneus brevis

Treves’ or Ilfeld’s Disease – osteochondrosis of the sesamoids. Tenderness and pain on palpation; significant pain on dorsiflexion.

Thiemann’s Disease – osteochondrosis of the phalanges.

Many of these conditions can be rectified or greatly benefited by wearing conservative in–shoe mechanical corrective devices (orthotics) to realign the foot and leg in the best functioning position.
