The bunionette (quintus varus) - PiedRéseau Verdun
PiedRéseau Verdun offers specialized care for bunionette, also known as quintus varus or tailor’s bunion. This service addresses the discomfort associated with the deformation of the 5th metatarsal bone, which can lead to significant pain and difficulty in wearing shoes. Our clinic provides comprehensive assessments to identify the specific needs of each patient suffering from this condition.
Our approach includes a thorough biomechanical examination and diagnostic imaging to understand the nature of the bunionette. Once diagnosed, we create a tailored treatment plan that may involve custom orthotics, orthopedic shoes, and other non-invasive methods to alleviate symptoms. In cases where conservative treatments are insufficient, we also offer surgical options to correct the deformity.
At PiedRéseau Verdun, we emphasize the importance of early intervention. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that patients receive timely and effective treatment to prevent the progression of the bunionette and associated complications. We aim to help patients regain comfort and mobility in their daily lives.
The PiedRéseau Verdun team consists of experienced professionals, including Dr. Lounes Laoudi, Dr. Ron Terry Bustillo, Dr. Gabrielle Raimondo, and Dr. Pauly Tang, all of whom hold Doctorates in Podiatric Medicine. Our supportive staff, including nursing assistants Isabelle Drolet and Margarita Lucas, along with our administrative coordinator Marie-Pier Richer Laplante, ensure a seamless experience for every patient.
