What Is Hammer Toe Surgery?
A hammer toe is a foot deformity where the toe becomes bent at the joint. It often causes pain and is associated with corns forming over the toe. Not only are hammer toes painful, but they also cause a lot of people embarrassment. Conservative treatments include stretching, orthotics, padding, and strapping of the toes. If you have tried these conservative treatments without relief of symptoms, surgically straightening the toes may be a good option for you. Our podiatry doctors at Manhattan Foot Specialists perform Minimally-invasive (hidden-incision) hammer toe surgery. All symptoms should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by your podiatrist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to exclude any underlying serious condition.
What Is Hammer Toe?
A hammertoe is a toe that curls or is buckled. This condition can be very painful and make fitting into shoes difficult. This deformity can cause painful callused skin lesions called corns. See a Manhattan hammer toe surgeon or your local foot doctor in New York sooner rather than later to treat hammertoes.
What Causes Hammer Toe?
People ask hammertoe surgeons every day to explain what caused their toe to become bent like this. The hammer toe deformity occurs when the muscles that stabilize your toes lose the delicate balance between them and start to overpower each other. This causes your toe to bend or become stuck in a curled position. This can become painful because the contracted toes bump against the top of your shoe. The ball of the foot can also become painful since the toes are not carrying any weight as they contract off the ground.
