| Nueroma |  | An irritation of a nerve may produce a neuroma, which is a benign enlargement of a nerve segment, commonly found between the third and fourth toes. Several factors may contribute to the formation of a neuroma. |
Hammertoes
A hammertoe is a contracture—or bending—of the toe at the first joint of the digit, called the proximal interphalangeal joint. This bending causes the toe to appear like an upside-down V when looked at from the side. Any toe can be involved, but the condition usually affects the second through fifth toes, known as the lesser digits.
Bunions
A bunion is an enlargement of the joint at the base of the big toe—the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint—that forms when the bone or tissue at the big toe joint moves out of place.

Arthritis
The American College of Rheumatology recommends that to prevent damage and disability, rheumatoid arthritis should be treated early and aggressively. We now know that inflammation results in joint damage and bone loss very early in the disease process (within the first 2 years), making patients more prone to osteoporosis.
