Hammertoe and Other Toe Deformities

Condition Overview:

Hammertoe and claw toe deformities are characterized by fixed flexion of the toes, which cannot be actively straightened. These deformities may be accompanied by painful blisters, calluses, and uncomfortable pressure from footwear.

Surgical Solution:

A minimally invasive procedure is performed to correct the position of the affected toes. The procedure involves reducing tendon tension or addressing deformed bones and joints through 2 to 3-mm mini-incisions or punctures.

Postoperative Recovery:

• Mobility: Walking with crutches is typically required for 2–3 days.
• Work Incapacity:
  
  • Sedentary work: 1 week
  • Work involving walking or lower limb strain: 2 weeks
     

Conclusion:

The procedure successfully straightens the toes, alleviating pain and discomfort while improving overall foot function and comfort.
