A bunionette is a problem similar to a bunion, except that a bunionette occurs on the outside of the foot. Bunionettes are also called Tailor's bunions; they are commonly seen in patients who also have bunions on the inside of their foot. Like bunions, most bunionettes are caused by footwear problems. Specifically.

A bunion is an unnatural, bony hump that forms at the base of the big toe where it attaches to the foot. Often, the big toe deviates toward the other toes. When this occurs, the base of the big toe pushes outward on the first metatarsal bone -- which is the bone directly behind the big toe -- forming a bunion. If this happens on the little toe and fifth metatarsal, it's called a bunionette.

1 Specifically, what is removed from the outer fifth toe is the excess skin and the joint’s inflamed soft tissue or bursa.  Patients with a Type 1 bunionette deformity have a bony protuberance at the fifth MTPJ. During surgery, this bony growth is also removed. Some surgeons call this a bunionectomy.

This pressure is usually due to footwear, but can have other causes. The name Tailor's bunion, also used to refer to a bunionette, comes from the fact that tailors used to have this condition because of the posture they held their foot while working. Bunionettes are most commonly due to extrinsic pressure caused by footwear.

Tailor's Bunion. A Tailors bunion (also called a bunionette) is a bony prominence that typically occurs on the outside side of the forefoot at the base of the fifth toe. The bunion is not a growth of bone or a calcium deposit. The bunion is actually the rounded end of the fifth metatarsal bone (the bone on the outside of the forefoot leading to the 5th toe) that is slowly splaying away from the outer side of the foot.

This is the reason why a little toe bunion is often referred to as a tailor’s bunion. Tailors used to sit cross-legged on the floor for long periods of time while making clothes, which caused bunions to form on the outside of both feet. These days, this toe deformity is most commonly suffered by women, especially those with a love of stilettos and high heeled or tight and restrictive shoes.

What is a Bunionette? A bunionette is a bony lump which forms on the outside of the foot at the first joint of the small toe; where the toe joins the foot. The causes of little toe bunions is not always known although they are believed to form in response to excess and repeated pressure. Pressure is usually exerted by tight and restrictive footwear; although it can also come from sitting cross legged on the floor for long periods of time.

A bunionette deformity is an abnormal bony protuberance, or bump, on the outer (lateral) side of the fifth toe or metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ). This problem can start out as small and painless, but then become larger and more. X-rays of a 45-year-old woman with a Type 1 bunionette.

The specific nature of the surgery required for correction of your Tailors bunion is determined by an examination of your foot clinically and with x-rays. Typically, the surgery is performed on only one foot at a time. Usually bone screws are used to stabilize bone cuts and stay implanted permanently.
