    La reacción de estrés y las fracturas longitudinales incompletas de la cara plantar del tercer hueso metatarsiano pueden ocurrir debido a la lesión ósea relacionada con el estrés en el origen del ligamento suspensor. Estos se asocian normalmente con una captación aumentada de radionúclidos en la gammagrafía ósea y son claramente demostrables en la RM.
