| Question | Answer | Article | |
| What is this condition? | ‘Seedy toe’ – separation of the wall from the deeper structures of the foot. The image shows that the enlargement of the toe is associated with the development of a large cavity between the wall and the pedal bone, particularly on the medial aspect. |
