Video transcript
This transcript has been lightly edited for clarity.
This morning, we are treating a painful corn on the pinky toe that developed over the years. The speaker associates it with high-heel use, genetics, and flat feet. We are also treating a painful corn beneath the fifth metatarsal head. The patient describes the sensation as walking on a small stone, which the speaker attributes to a bone prominence beneath the fifth metatarsal head. The procedure is called a condylectomy. We expose the fifth metatarsal head, shave down the bone prominence, close the incision, and place a stitch. We then treat the corn on the fifth toe and close that incision. The speaker estimates that the full procedure will take about 15 to 20 minutes.
Key takeaways
- The video discusses corns on the pinky toe and beneath the fifth metatarsal head.
- A condylectomy is described for reducing the underlying bone prominence.
