Hammertoe Surgery

Hammertoe surgery is a procedure to correct a deformity where a toe bends at the middle joint, often causing pain or difficulty in walking. The surgery involves realigning the toe by either releasing tight tendons, removing a small portion of bone, or implanting devices to stabilize the toe in a straighter position. This can relieve discomfort, improve foot function, and enhance the foot's overall appearance. Recovery typically includes swelling and pain management, with patients encouraged to gradually return to normal activities as healing progresses.
