Inwardly bent pinky toes!

My pinky toes on both legs are bent inwards. This appears prominently when I walk. Is it a disorder?
I frequently fall because of this problem. I have had 2 fractures so far and seem to have lesser balance than other people. Looks like my pinky toes succumb to my weight easily. What must I do? Is there a treatment for this? Are there any changes which I could implement to my walking style to correct this problem? Note: I dont feel any pain in my pinky toes when I walk.

Re: Inwardly bent pinky toes!

You may have a tailor's bunion on both toes or hammertoes. You should go see a Podiatrist to see if it is contributing to the frequent falling over. If that's the case, you can get surgery to correct it.

Re: Inwardly bent pinky toes!

Yes, it does sound like a bunion. There may also be inserts that you could put in your shoes to help your balance, which your doctor could recommend.
