What is Hammertoe?

Hammertoe is a condition where the second, third, or fourth toe becomes bent at the middle joint due to weakened muscles, causing imbalance and joint deformity. If left untreated, it can become rigid and more painful over time.

Common Causes of Hammertoe

  • Wearing tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes

  • Muscle imbalance between toe flexors and extensors

  • Arthritis or nerve conditions

  • Genetic predisposition or flat feet

  • Past toe injuries or fractures

Symptoms of Hammertoe

  • Toe that bends downward at the middle joint

  • Pain while wearing shoes or walking

  • Corns or calluses on top of the affected toe

  • Redness, swelling, or restricted toe movement

  • In advanced cases, toe becomes rigid and fixed

Hammertoe Treatment Options at Paras Hospital, Ranchi

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

Who Should Consider Hammertoe Surgery?

You may be a candidate for surgical treatment if you:

  • Have chronic toe pain that limits walking

  • Suffer from rigid hammertoe that doesn’t respond to conservative care

  • Have corns, calluses, or skin wounds due to toe deformity

  • Are looking for long-term correction of hammertoe
