Bunion in diabetes

Bunion condition with diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis

Despite the compromised healing capacity of diabetics and metabolic interference of some medications taken by autoimmune disease patients, syndesmosis - bonding between first and second metatarsals, can form and occur if the patient is still capable of healing skin wounds.

This 50 year old female with rheumatoid arthritis was taking rheumatoid medications and one year after surgery her first metatarsal has been clearly aligned and maintained by a syndesmosis bridge.
