Hammertoe Minimally Invasive Surgery Treatment Options

When conservative care for hammertoes is not enough, and orthotics, wider shoes and padding do not relieve foot pain, it may be time to consider hammertoe surgery. 

Minimally invasive surgery, also known as microsurgery, is a simple solution to address the pain of hammertoe. Sometimes a very quick release of the soft tissue structures in the toe (may take as little as 30 seconds) is all that is needed to straighten the hammertoe. In some cases, another correction is used to reshape the bone at the toe joint. Using minimally invasive techniques, a small entry point is made at the side of your toe and a thin instrument is used to remodel the bone and straighten the toe. This procedure is completed in-office with sedation and usually takes less than 30 minutes. You will be able to walk out of the office shortly after the treatment. 

Hammertoe Microsurgery Expected Outcomes

After minimally invasive surgery, straight, painless toes are expected.
