Without proper treatment they can lead to crippling arthritis. For example, sometimes a fracture of the first metatarsal bone (behind the big toe) can lead to arthritis. Since the big toe is used so frequently and bears more weight than other toes, arthritis in that area can make it painful to walk, bend, or even stand. The use of padding, taping, footwear changes, and removal of callouses or steroid injections may all be used to help relieve symptoms. Padding can help to reduce abnormal pressures caused by the deformity. Taping techniques or the use of a splint can be used to reduce the a flexible deformity. Changing the patient's footwear can also help to reduce discomfort. These shoe changes can include a wider or higher toe box to better accommodate the toes.
