Pantar Callus What Causes It? When one metatarsal bone is longer or lower than the others, it hits the ground first-and with more force than it is equipped to handle-at every step. As a result, the skin under this bone thickens like a rock in your shoe, the callus causes irritation and pain.

Treatment When the callus continues to return on a chronic basis and conservative care fails, sometimes an osteotomy is performed to relieve the pressure on the bone. The metatarsal bone is cut in a "V" shape. The end of the bone is then lifted and aligned with the other bones. The "V" shape holds the bone in its new position, preventing it from rocking to the left or right. After Surgery accommodation in TorquaySince the bone has been cut, healing takes time. A surgical shoe is usually worn for the first 3-5 weeks. The bone finds its correct level as it heals.
