Characterized by a bend in one or both joints of any but the big toe, hammertoe is a common podiatric issue. In early stages the toe can still be extended, but will be bent upward in its resting state. If left untreated, however, the condition will worsen progressively.  

​

Signs and Symptoms

Hammertoe is typically straightforward to identify on a simple physical examination. Symptoms include:

·         A contracted toe or toes.

·         Corns between toes or on the top, side or end of the affected toes. Corns are a buildup of skin caused by friction at the contact point between the toe and shoe.

·         Calluses on the bottom of toes or on the ball of the foot. Calluses are rough, dry patches of dead skin that has built up.

·         Pain or irritation when the toes come into contact with the shoe.  Conservative and or surgical intervention are options for treatment.
