At least 2 : Reasons are possible. First many times there is a constitutional asymmetry, always possible vs previous inflammation from gout with residual changes, as gout in it’s podagra version typically affects the great toe. Other conditions cannot be ruled out for observed changes, above are extracted from available information.
