Foot Deformities

A bunion is a bony prominence that develops at the base of the big toe, causing the toe to drift toward the smaller toes. Bunions can lead to pain, swelling, redness, and difficulty wearing shoes.

Hammertoes occur when one or more toes become bent at the middle joint, creating a claw-like appearance. Symptoms may include pain, corns, calluses, and irritation from shoe pressure.

A tailor's bunion is a bony prominence that develops along the outside of the foot near the fifth toe. It can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty wearing narrow shoes.

Flat feet occur when the arches of the feet collapse or fail to develop properly. This condition can contribute to foot fatigue, heel pain, ankle instability, and abnormal walking patterns.

Excessively high arches can place increased pressure on the heel and ball of the foot, often resulting in pain, instability, calluses, and a greater risk of ankle sprains.

Most commonly associated with diabetic neuropathy, Charcot foot causes weakening of the bones and joints, leading to progressive deformity, collapse of the arch, and significant foot instability.
