Tailors bunion / bunionette
A tailors bunion is an enlargement of the fifth
metatarsal head bone at the base of the little toe. There are genetic factors and biomechanical factors; however this condition is commonly thought to be due to wearing narrow-toed shoes and high heels therefore occurring more often in women. Ill-fitting footwear may accelerate the formation of a bunionette due to the extra pressure put on the outside of the foot. |
Orthotics are helpful to correct an underlying biomechanical problem and prevent the condition from progressing.
Footwear should be changed to broad fitting shoes with a minimum heel. Last option -surgery (bunionectomy) to correct the tailors bunion. |
