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

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.
