Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2009 Jul;70(7):402-5. doi: 10.12968/hmed.2009.70.7.43124.

Abstract

Transient osteoporosis is a rare cause of pain in the foot. There is a broad differential diagnosis. A multidisciplinary assessment by both an orthopaedic surgeon and rheumatologist with review of the imaging by a radiologist is useful, as this condition is a diagnosis of exclusion.
