Minimally Invasive Hammertoe Correction

What is Hammertoe?

Hammertoe is a common condition where one or more of the small toes become bent at the middle joint, causing the toe to curl downward instead of pointing straight ahead. This can result in discomfort, pain, and difficulty wearing shoes. Over time, hammertoes can become rigid and more challenging to correct if not treated early.

Key Benefits of Our Procedure

Is Minimally Invasive Surgery Right for You?

This procedure is ideal for patients with mild to moderate hammertoe deformities. During your consultation, our foot and ankle specialist will evaluate your condition, discuss your symptoms, and determine the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.

What to Expect

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Small incisions are made to access the affected joint and soft tissues, and specialized instruments are used to correct the alignment of the toe. The incisions are then closed with small sutures, and a dressing is applied. Post-operative care includes rest, elevation, and following a specific rehabilitation plan to ensure optimal healing.
