Toenail Fungus Toenail fungus is an infection that gets in through cracks in your nail or cuts in your skin. It can make your toenail change color or get thicker. It can also hurt.
Causes of Toenail Fungus Toenail fungus (Onychomycosis) can begin from an infection of the skin called tinea pedis or “athlete’s foot”, which then incorporates under the nail causing a change in appearance. Fungus can also incorporated into the nail bed due to trauma, excessive friction or rubbing of the nail and pedicures.
Toenail Fungus Treatment Treatment consists of topicals, orals, and or advanced laser treatments. Using a state-of-the-art laser , the treatment takes less than 15 minutes, eliminating the pathogens that cause toenail fungus infection (Onychomycosis). The foot and ankle surgeon will help recommend the best treatment options for

Bunion and Tailor’s Bunion Bunion affect the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint in which there is an angular deformity of the first metatarsal bone which causes a painful bump on the inside or top of the foot. Tailor’s bunion is a similar deformity that is seen on the small toe or the outside of the foot.
Causes of Bunion and Tailors Bunion The causes stem from congenital predisposition with a 9:1 prevalence in females vs males. It is not the bunion that is directly inherited but more of the foot deformity causing the bunion secondarily. Many have drawn links between the formation of hallux valgus and the presence of other foot/ankle abnormalities. These include flatfoot deformity, hypermobility of the first ray, equinus contracture, and hindfoot deformity secondary to rheumatoid arthritis or posterior tibial tendon dysfunction.
