My experience getting correctional surgery for brachymetatarsia has been live changing!
Even though I still have a fixator in place, I already don’t worry about how my toes look and that’s a huge relief...
Do you have a short toe?
Brachymetatarsia is when one or more bones in the foot stop growing too early, while the other toes keep growing (mostly around 7-8 years old). For the most part this is a genetic disorder, but may also be caused by an injury or infection. Brachymetatarsia usually happens to the fourth toe bone of one foot or both feet. This can be painful when you’re walking because the other bones (toes) are holding more weight than usual. Most patients experience discomfort in shoes.
Growing your own bone is the best way to make your feet look normal.
To fix this condition, Dr. Khosroabadi (Dr. K) surgically places a small device on the toe bone. This allows a patient to lengthen their toe bone very slowly by turning a screw at home (these adjustments are usually painless).
Another option is when Dr. K cuts the toe bone half and inserts a graft between the two halves of the toe bone. After a few weeks, the bone graft heals and becomes part of the original toe bone.
We have been helping patients from all over US with deformities and illnesses of the foot and ankle. We have always pushed the envelope to come up with new procedures, techniques and devices. Our procedures have appeared on multiple national TV programs including the nationally syndicated The Doctors. Our goal is helping people walk again and restoring their quality of life.

Brachymetatarsia is a condition in which one of the five long bones of the foot (the metatarsals) is abnormally short, resulting in a shortened toe.
It is also referred to as Short Toe, Short Metatarsal, Small Toe Stubby Toe, Short Fourth Toe, and Short Toe Syndrome.
