Description
Several kinds of surgery can repair hammer toe. Your bone or foot doctor will recommend the kind that will work best for you. Some of the surgeries include:
- Remove parts of the toe bones.
- Cut or transplant the tendons of the toes (tendons connect bone to muscle).
- Fuse the joint together to make the toe straight and no longer able to bend.
After surgery, you may have surgical pins or a wire (Kirschner, or K-wire) to hold the toe bones in place while your toe heals.
