S/P Hammer Toe Correction

Definition:
Hammertoe and mallet toe feature an abnormal bend in the joints of one or more of your toes. Moving the affected toe may be difficult or painful. Corns and calluses can result from the toe rubbing against the inside of your shoes. In this surgery a tendon is released so the toe can lie flat.
