Tailor's onion

1. ¿Qué es?

Tailor's Bunion is a foot condition characterized by joint deformity, pain, or dysfunction. At Pied Confort, we provide a comprehensive approach, from assessment to surgical management when needed. All surgical interventions are performed by our team of orthopedic surgeons — not podiatrists.

2. Common Causes

Las causas pueden incluir factores hereditarios, anomalías anatómicas del pie, uso inadecuado del calzado, desequilibrios biomecánicos o traumatismos. Enfermedades y otras afecciones, como la artritis, también pueden contribuir.

3. Symptoms

Los síntomas incluyen dolor localizado, hinchazón, rigidez o deformidad visible. Algunas afecciones pueden causar callos, escozor o entumecimiento. El dolor puede presentarse al conducir o al usar calzado apretado.

4. How is it diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves a thorough clinical exam, palpation of the affected area, range-of-motion tests, and gait assessment. Weight-bearing X-rays or additional imaging (ultrasound, MRI) may be used to confirm severity.

5. What does the intervention involve?

Treatment usually starts with conservative measures such as footwear changes, custom orthotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and physical therapy exercises. If symptoms persist, surgery may be recommended to realign bones, release soft tissue, or fuse the joint to relieve pain.
