What constitutes "short toes"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brachymetatarsia: In the feet, the metatarsal are long bones which are located just before the toes. In many cases when people present for short toes, the real problem is a short metatarsal bone. If problematic, a surgeon could lengthen the shortened bone thereby bringing the toe out to length.
