Hammertoe Treatment Options at Paras Hospital, Patna
Minimally Invasive Hammertoe Surgery
For fixed or painful deformities, our orthopedic foot surgeons perform outpatient surgical correction by realigning joints, removing bone, or releasing tight tendons. Most procedures are done under local or spinal anesthesia.
Tendon Release or Transfer
In flexible hammertoe cases, the toe deformity can be corrected by releasing or rerouting tendons to restore balance and straighten the toe.
Joint Fusion (Arthrodesis)
In more advanced cases, the middle joint of the toe may be fused to hold the toe straight permanently, preventing recurrence.
Non-Surgical Treatment
For early-stage or flexible hammertoes:
-
Padding and corn removal
-
Toe splints or orthotics
-
Shoe modifications (wide-toe footwear)
-
Physical therapy to stretch and strengthen toe muscles
