Hammertoe Procedures

Hammertoe procedures are surgical treatments to correct a deformity where one or more toes bend abnormally at the middle joint, causing a hammer-like appearance. The surgery typically involves realigning the toe bones, straightening the joint, and sometimes removing a small part of bone or tissue to improve function and reduce discomfort. The goal is to relieve pain, improve toe alignment, and restore normal walking ability. Recovery varies but often includes a period of rest, elevation, and sometimes footwear modifications to support healing.
