Hammertoes
What are Hammertoes?
Hammertoes is a foot deformity that affects the toes, causing them to bend or curl downwards instead of pointing forward. This condition typically results from an imbalance in the muscles, tendons, or ligaments that normally hold the toe straight. Hammertoes can be flexible or rigid, and while they start out as mild deformities, they can become more severe over time, leading to significant discomfort and mobility issues.
What are the Signs & Symptoms of Hammertoes?
- Toes that bend downward at the middle joint.
- Pain or discomfort in the affected toe when wearing shoes.
- Corns or calluses on the top of the middle joint of the toe.
- Inflammation, redness, or a burning sensation in the affected toe.
- Restricted or painful movement of the toe joint.
- Difficulty walking or discomfort when walking.
