Hammertoe surgery is a procedure to correct a deformity in the second, third, or fourth toe—a bend at the middle joint that makes the toe look like a claw or hammer. The surgery is performed to lessen pain or improve flexibility when the muscles in the toe can’t stretch and straighten.

Your healthcare provider may suggest hammertoe surgery after more conservative measures have failed, including wearing roomier, more comfortable shoes or trying over-the-counter splints and pads. 

This article will let you know what to expect before, during, and after hammertoe surgery.
