Toe Deformities

Several deformities of the feet relate to a claw-like bending of the small toes in a downward position, instead of pointing forward.

Depending upon where the 'bend' is in the toe determines if it is diagnosed a Claw toe, Mallet toe or Hammer toe.

Surgery to correct the hammer, mallet or claw toe deformity will usually permanently cure the formation of painful corns on skin overlying these joints by straightening them out and releasing any tight tissues around them.
