A member asked:
Podiatrist said metatarsal bone dropped. add metatarsal raise on insole. what caused the drop? will it go back? how long do i have to wear raise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contracted toe: The most common cause of a dropped metatarsal is a contracted ( hammered) toe. If the metatarsal pad helps it can be made permanent by incorporating it into an insert. The condition can also be corrected surgically. Discuss this with your podiatrist.
