Advanced, minimally invasive correction for painful toe deformities by Dr. Solomon
Hammertoes can disrupt your gait, limit your footwear choices, and create chronic foot pain that affects your quality of life. Dr. Nathan S. Solomon offers a refined, minimally invasive surgical solution to correct hammertoe deformities while minimizing scarring, recovery time, and discomfort. Whether your concern is functional, cosmetic, or both, Dr. Solomon brings expert training in cosmetic and reconstructive foot surgery to every procedure, tailoring care to your goals and lifestyle.
A hammertoe is a toe deformity in which the toe becomes bent at the middle joint, causing it to resemble a hammer. The condition typically affects the second, third, fourth, or fifth toe and can be flexible (still able to straighten) or rigid (permanently bent). Left untreated, it often worsens over time and can lead to severe pain, corns, calluses, and difficulty walking.
Hammertoe often develops due to muscle imbalances in the foot, genetics, wearing ill-fitting shoes, or complications from bunions or arthritis.
