Hammertoes and corns.
Conditions which result in deviation in the position and function of joints of the toes are caused by tendon imbalance produced by many structural disorders as well as trauma, arthritis and ill-fitting shoes. These conditions affect all age groups including infants. Associated corns and calluses frequently may occur.
Key Benefits
- Surgical treatment is directed at providing a pain-free stable, balanced and functional toe.
- Recommended treatment to improve activities and allow diverse shoe wear.
- Non-surgical treatment is possible for less advanced conditions producing minor discomfort.
