Tailor's bunion is easily diagnosed because the protrusion is visually apparent. X-rays may be ordered to help the surgeon find out the severity of the deformity.
Types Type 1: The head of the
5th metatarsal is thickened and enlarged. Type 2: A 5th metatarsal with an increased lateral curve and a normal fourth and fifth inter-metatarsal angle. Type 3: Has the greatest lateral angular disposition of the 5th metatarsal compared to the 4th metatarsal, this phenomenon increases the 4th and 5th inter-metatarsal angles. This is generally the most symptomatic type of Tailor's bunion. Type 4: A combination of at least two types of bunionettes (TB). == See also ==
