Hammer Toe Surgery

Hammer toe surgery is a procedure to correct a toe that is curled up or bent down at the middle joint, resembling a hammer. This condition can cause pain and discomfort, especially in footwear. During surgery, the surgeon may realign the toe, remove damaged tissue, or fuse bones to restore normal shape and function. The operation aims to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enable patients to wear shoes comfortably. Recovery typically involves rest, a supportive shoe, and physical therapy to regain strength and flexibility in the toe.
