Function:
- Offloads 5th metatarsal head
- Increases 5th ray joint excursions
Clinical Indication:
- Tailor’s bunions
- Abnormal deformities of 5th met head
- Callusing of 5th metatarsal head
Hide/show illustrations
Frame resection proximal to 5th metatarsal head
About:
A 5th ray cut out is a 45° or 65° clipping of the distal lateral portion of the orthotic frame. The cut’s angulation begins at the 4th innerspace of the distal frame and terminates at the lateral edge of the frame. This clipping reduces the pressure the frame places on the 5th metatarsal head.
Orthotic lab Codes:
5C-45D: 45° 5th Ray Cut Out
5C-65D: 65° 5th Ray Cut Out
