Introduction
Hammer toe surgery at Nova Foot & Ankle addresses the painful and debilitating condition of hammer toe, where one or more toes are permanently bent. Our skilled surgeons offer corrective procedures to restore normal toe function.
What is Hammer Toe Surgery?
Hammer toe surgery involves straightening the affected toe(s) by releasing or repositioning the tendons and ligaments, or by removing a small portion of the bone. This procedure is typically recommended when conservative treatments fail to provide relief.
Benefits of Hammer Toe Surgery
- Corrects toe deformity
- Relieves pain and discomfort
- Improves foot function and appearance
- Enhances comfort in shoes
What to Expect
Hammer toe surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation and can be done on an outpatient basis. The procedure typically takes about an hour, and you can expect to go home the same day.
Recovery Process
Recovery from hammer toe surgery is relatively quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few weeks. You may need to wear a surgical shoe or splint during the initial healing period.
