SOLUTIONS TO HAMMERTOES:
If the hammertoe is "flexible" meaning that you can push the toe down, but it will come back up. Then you can use pads to help the discomfort from this toe. At our Advanced Foot Care Clinic we offer budin splints and toe crests. They both have an elastic band that fits over the toe and pulls the toe down into position. Or you can go to our web site www.vailfoot.com and go to our online store and both products are available that way.
But if your hammertoe is more "rigid" then sugery is probably in your future. It is a simple surgery and is an outpatient procedure.
