Forefoot reconstruction Inflammatory arthritis (such Rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus) lead to deformities that are more severe and disabling than osteoarthritis. In relation to the forefoot it can cause 1. Severe bunions 2. Painful clawing of the toes. There may be calluses and corns on the toes as a result of pressure areas and finding suitable footwear is difficult.
