Tailor's Bunion
An illustration of a tailor's bunion.
Tailor bunions occur next to the small toe on the outside of your foot. The surgical procedure that involves correcting this is nearly identical to the procedure we perform on the great toe bunion.
Patients are required to wear a walking boot for four weeks, just like with our bunion procedure.
