Brachymetatarsia
Brachymetatarsia is a condition in which the bone in a toe doesn't grow as long as a normal bone. If it is not taken care of, it can cause bunions, hammer toes, pain and can impact a person's balance. Not only is help available, but Bradley Lamm, D.P.M., of the Rubin Institute for Advance Orthopedics at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore has a natural method of correcting the deformity. He can lengthen a patient's own bone so that there are no screws or plates left behind in the foot.

This video tells the story of how surgeons John Herzenberg, M.D., and Shawn Standard, M.D., have helped change the lives of children with these conditions.
