Hammer Toes

A hammertoe is a toe with an unnatural bend in the middle joint that occurs in the center of the toe. Mallet toe is a condition that affects the joint closest to the toenail. Hammertoe and mallet toe are two types of toe deformities that often affect the second, third, and fourth toes. Changing your footwear and using shoe inserts may be necessary to alleviate the discomfort and pressure associated with hammertoe and mallet toe.
