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.

Keywords : Clavus, Microtrauma, Hyperkeratosis, Syndactylization, Osteotomies, Arthroplasty, Bunionectomy.
