What is Hammer toe Surgery?
Hammertoe Surgery is a surgical treatment used to treat an abnormality of the big toe joint known as a bunion. In this surgery the bony mass is removed, and the toes’ bones are reshaped to be straight.
A disorder known as hammertoe occurs when one or more of the smaller toes, usually the second, third, or fourth toe, bend at the middle joint and take on the appearance of a hammer or claw. The top of the toe or the ball of the foot may develop corns or calluses as a result of this deformity, which can also make it difficult to wear conventional footwear.

Is hammertoe surgery worth it?
When conservative or non-surgical therapy have failed to relieve your symptoms and the deformity is seriously hurting your quality of life, hammertoe surgery may be an option.
When should I consider undergoing hammertoe surgery?
A podiatrist or orthopedic surgeon, normally, should be consulted before deciding whether to perform hammertoe surgery.
Pain and Discomfort: Surgery might be an option if you have one or more hammertoes and endure persistent pain, discomfort, or trouble walking.
Toe Deformity: The choice may be affected by how severe the toe deformity is. Surgery may be advised more often if the toe(s) are rigidly malformed and cannot be manually straightened.
Failed Conservative Treatments: It is recommended to start with non-surgical treatments such physical therapy, cushioning, orthotic devices, and adjustments in footwear. Surgery might be a solution if these measures are ineffective.
Functional Impairment: If having a hammertoe seriously reduces your quality of life or your ability to complete daily tasks
Patient Preference: The choice to have hammertoe surgery is ultimately a personal one. If the condition is causing them a lot of discomfort, some people may decide to have surgery sooner, while others may decide to wait until it is absolutely necessary for their health.
