Surgical correction of tailor's bunion with resection of fifth metatarsal head and silastic sphere implant: an 8-year follow-up study.
1986
: This paper introduces a fifth metatarsal head surgery with silicone sphere implant to correct tailor's bunion deformities and prevent digital retraction that may occur after fifth metatarsal head resection. The authors present an 8-year follow-up of 35 patients who underwent 50 procedures. The authors had an 84% success rate, but they submit that this procedure is not indicated in every case of tailor's bunion.
