Frequently Asked Questions About Hammertoes

  • A hammertoe occurs when one of the smaller toes develops an abnormal bend. It most often affects the second through fifth toes and may cause pain, pressure, corns, or calluses where the toe rubs against footwear.

  • They can. A hammertoe may become more pronounced or less flexible over time, particularly when pressure and irritation continue. Early evaluation can help identify contributing factors and determine whether treatment may help prevent symptoms from becoming more difficult to manage.

  • Treatment depends on the flexibility of the toe, the severity of the deformity, and how much it is affecting your comfort and daily activities.

    Non-surgical treatment may include wearing shoes with a roomy toe box, protective padding, orthotics, splinting, taping, and other measures designed to reduce pressure on the affected toe.

    These treatments can help relieve pain and irritation, particularly when the deformity is still flexible. They may not permanently straighten a hammertoe that has become structurally established.

    If symptoms continue despite conservative treatment, your podiatrist can evaluate whether surgical correction may be appropriate.

  • Surgery may be considered when pain continues despite non-surgical treatment, footwear becomes difficult to wear, or the deformity becomes rigid or interferes with daily activities.

    Your podiatrist will evaluate the toe and recommend treatment based on its flexibility, severity, and your individual goals.
