Short Toe, Brachymetatarsia


Brachymetatarsia is a congenital condition where one of the metatarsals are shorter than adjacent metatarsal that cause one or more toes to look shorter. Most of the time this condition does not present a problem. Other times it can cause pain. Treatment includes padding, change of shoe gear and also surgery. The surgeons at Advanced Foot and Ankle Center are trained to treat Brachymetatarsia both conservatively and surgically.
Most procedures are done in an outpatient setting. We typically will perform our procedures at Craig Ranch Surgery Center or at Craig Ranch Hospital.
