Hammertoe & Claw Toe
Our podiatrists provide expert treatment, cosmetic and correction surgery for hammertoes.
It is a deformity of the second, third, fourth, or fifth toes. In this condition, the toe is bent at the middle joint, resembling a hammer. If left untreated, it can become inflexible and require surgery.
People with this foot condition may have corns or calluses on the top of the toe's middle joint or tip. Hammertoes may cause pain in the toes or feet.
Treatment for this condition typically involves shoes with soft, roomy toe boxes and toe exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles, but hammertoe surgery may be recommended in severe cases. Commercially available straps, cushions, or non-medicated corn pads may also relieve symptoms.
Prime Foot and Ankle Specialist’s mission is to help you find hammertoe pain relief as soon as possible.
