Abstract :
The disorder known as clavus is brought on
by mechanical stress. It looks like layers of thick, brittle
skin. Most people with painful clavus are older than 65.
Clavi are brought on by microtrauma to the epidermis,
which typically takes continuous pressure or friction
applied to the afflicted area. The purpose of treatment is
to reduce the symptoms and deal with the mechanical
stress. Surgery to remove the bony prominences is only
indicated when all other conservative measures have
failed.
