Learn more about Hammer Toe surgeries and the recovery process from Dr. Moore.

In order to remodel and straighten the toe joint, a minimal (0.5 to 1 centimeter) incision is made at the top of the toe. The surgeon will then remove a small portion of the joint in order to fully extend and straighten the toe. To ensure that the toe will remain straight, a small pin is placed in the middle of the toe. Both absorbable and metallic options are available and do not need to be removed.

Another surgical option involves bone fusion. The surgeon goes through the above process, but also fuses together the two bones that create the impacted toe joint. A wire, pins, or screws are inserted to help them fuse together naturally and then removed after healing.
