Case Discussion
Bunionette deformity presents as a prominence of the 5th metatarsal head with overlying soft tissue swelling, varus deformity at the 5th metatarsophalangeal joint, and widening of the gap between the 4th and 5th metatarsal heads.
Bunionette deformity is also known as tailor's bunion or metatarsus quintus varus.
Both feet xray was obtained for this patient for pre-operative purposes.
