Hammer toes are a situation where the second, third, fourth or fifth toe are continously and unnaturally bent downwards. Lack of balance in the muscles and tendos of the toes is a health-related, as well as an aesthetical problem for many people. This situation creates an unnatural look of the foot and very often a painful discomfort when we want to wear our favourite shoes. An Orthopedic Surgeon is able to correct the toes, as well as eliminate a few side effects resulting from this medical condition such as corns and hardened skin in pressured areas. After the procedure a short recovery is needed and control visits in order to monitor it properly. Most Patients return to their everyday life about 2-4 weeks after the procedure. Of course just after the procedure balancing too much weight on the feet should be avoided and following the post-op guidelines will help in recovering quickly. Thanks to this procedure you will be able to wear whichever shoes you like, to underline the beauty of your feet. Your new, beautiful feet will not only make you feel better, but your quality of life as well.
