Brachymetatarsia

Expert Brachymetatarsia Solutions

Specialized Treatment for Short Toe Syndrome

Brachymetatarsia is a condition where one of the metatarsal bones in your foot—most commonly the fourth toe—is abnormally short compared to the others. This creates a toe that appears retracted or "floating," which can lead to cosmetic concerns, difficulty finding comfortable shoes, pain in adjacent toes from compensating for the shortened bone, and calluses from abnormal pressure distribution across your forefoot.



We offer thorough assessments to evaluate the structural impact of your shortened metatarsal and determine how it's affecting your gait, balance, and overall foot function. Treatment options span from conservative measures like custom orthotics and padding for mild cases to advanced surgical lengthening procedures using gradual bone distraction techniques or bone grafting, based on your specific needs and goals.

Our focus is on improving both the appearance and function of your foot, whether that means eliminating pain during walking, creating better toe alignment, or helping you wear the shoes you want with confidence. Through carefully planned intervention, we can address the mechanical imbalances caused by brachymetatarsia and help you achieve a more balanced, comfortable foot structure that supports your lifestyle.
