Brachymetatarsia

Care for Shortened Metatarsal Bones

Specialized Care to Improve Foot Function

Brachymetatarsia is a condition where one of the metatarsal bones, most commonly the fourth, is shorter than the others. This creates an uneven forefoot and can lead to discomfort, difficulty with certain shoes, pressure points, and cosmetic concerns. Some individuals experience pain during walking or activity, while others notice irritation from weight being unevenly distributed across the foot.

We begin with a detailed examination and imaging to understand the degree of shortening and how it affects your foot mechanics. Depending on your symptoms, treatment may include custom orthotics, shoe modifications, or padding to reduce irritation and improve weight distribution. For those seeking long-term correction or experiencing significant discomfort, surgical options are available to lengthen the bone and restore proper alignment.

Our goal is to reduce discomfort, improve function, and help you feel more confident in daily activity. With personalized care and advanced treatment techniques, we support better balance, improved foot mechanics, and lasting comfort.
