We analyze a series of 34 patients, 9 males and 25 females, with Freiberg''''s disease, detailing their location and severity at moment of the diagnosis. Clinically the severity of disease was variable, and frecuently discordant with the radiological image. Only in 5 patients was necessary the surgical treatment. There was no etiologic factor clearly found in any of the cases, with and without traumatic precedents. We describe the radiological pattern of this disease. The MRI permits at early stage detection of bone anomalíes.
