From: Increased frequency of intermetatarsal and submetatarsal bursitis in early rheumatoid arthritis: a large case-controlled MRI study

Fig. 4

Distribution of transverse and dorsoplantar diameters (mm) of intermetatarsal bursitis, submetatarsal bursitis, and Morton’s neuroma. The x-axis displays the diameter (in mm), the y-axis the percentage of participants with the corresponding diameter. Participants could have more than one lesion; therefore, the percentage of participants with a lesion does not add up to the total amount of participants. The metatarsal bones limit the IMB in the transverse plane, squeezing the bursa outwards in the dorsoplantar plane. The SMB expands more in the transverse than dorsoplantar plane in the subcutis. The detected MN are predominantly round and larger than 5 mm
