Sarah Brown 5th Toe

Digiti Minimi Quinti Varus (DMQV) is a condition of the 5th toe she was born with and is simply a slight distortion of the smallest toe so it is short and sits on top of the 4th toe.

At worse it is problematic in shoes but can cause corns and callus that can be painful.

Mostly people seek an opinion due to the appearance.

Surgery if requested is a tendon lengthening and plastic surgery incision to get the toe back down to ground level although it is never "normal" after this.

Mail on Sunday

Due to be featured in Mail on Sunday (3rd Jan 2010) in an article on me and my flatfeet and the reasons for choosing to have my own foot corrected by the Hyprocure.
The article talks about my daughter who also has significant flatfeet and, as her mother, if she is to have this procedure done I wanted to see what it really entailed and have essentially put my foot forward to try first!

Nearly a year since I had the right foot done and all is well. Delighted to have a static, stable, well behaved foot. No more wobbling or pain from the sinus tarsai. No more pain into the toes due to trapped nerves, no more bunion formation slowly but surely and just better stability overall.

And no; I cannot feel it. I have no restriction due to pain and nothing to make me limp or suffer any consequence, just enjoy the benefits.
