Lexx Diagnosed with Freiberg's
06/01/2008

A little over a month ago, Lexx was diagnosed with the rare disorder Freiberg's Disease, in its advanced arthrytic stage.

Freiberg's Infraction is a condition specific to the lesser metatarsal heads, most commonly the second metatarsal. Also known as avascular necrosis, or AVN, this condition results in a focal loss of blood supply to the metatarsal head. Freiberg's Infraction occurs at the metaphysis of the bone in a region where the primary or nutrient artery of the bone supplies the distal metatarsal. The result is a collapse of the metatarsal head.

This year Lexx will be undergoing treatment to help correct this disorder that has been left undiagnosed for the last five years and she hopes to continue working around her treatments as much as physically possible.

And finally...

Happy New Year to all from Lexx-Online!
