Dr Bothma's Docs & Resources

Arthritis (joint inflammation) may affect the joints in the ball of the foot as well as the joints of the toes.

Deformities of the great toe and the lesser toes are commonly seen in our foot surgery practice.

Nail problems of the great toe and the lesser toes include ingrown toenail, nail bed deformities and infections.

Injuries of the forefoot are common and usually entail striking the forefoot on an object on the ground, twisting the foot or dropping an object on to the foot.

Occasionally, even well planned and correctly performed surgery of the toes and forefoot may develop complications with undesirable results.
