A hammer toe is a foot deformity where one or more toes bend abnormally at the middle joint, resembling a hammer. This condition can cause discomfort, pain, and difficulty in wearing certain footwear. Treatment options include wearing proper footwear, using orthotic devices, and in severe cases, surgery may be recommended especially if it becomes too painful when wearing shoes.

Surgery for hammer toe is an option in severe cases where conservative treatments have not provided relief. The surgical procedure aims to straighten the affected toe by releasing or realigning the tendons and ligaments. The specific surgical technique depends on the severity and type of deformity. Recovery time varies, but it typically involves wearing a special shoe or splint and following post-operative care instructions provided by the surgeon. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
