What Causes Hammertoes?

Hammertoes develop due to an imbalance in the muscles, tendons, or ligaments that hold the toe straight. Factors contributing to this condition include:

Genetics:

Inherited foot structures can predispose you to hammertoes.

Improper Footwear:

Wearing tight or ill-fitting shoes, especially high heels, can increase the risk.

Injury:

Trauma to the toe can result in abnormal bending.

Arthritis:

Certain types of arthritis can affect the joints in your toes.

Diabetes:

Neurological changes from diabetes can lead to muscle imbalances in the feet.

How Can We Treat Hammertoes?

We offer specialised Hammertoe surgery to correct this deformity and alleviate associated symptoms. Our experienced surgeons perform minimally invasive procedures, ensuring a quicker recovery and less discomfort. The treatment plan may involve:

Surgical Correction:

Realigning the toe joint to its natural position.

Tendon Release:

Adjusting the tendons to relieve pressure and straighten the toe.

Joint Fusion:

Permanently correcting the deformity by fusing the joint.

Physical Therapy:

Post-surgery exercises to strengthen and improve toe mobility.

"Fantastic dentist"

I hadn’t been to the dentist for year as i’ve always been too scared!! I plucked up the courage after Dr Ketan Sheth treated my 9 and 11 year old children and they were fine. Can honestly say now I don’t know why I didn’t go sooner. Dr Ketan Sheth is a fantastic dentist and all the staff and the surgery as a whole there is 5 star! Thank you for all your help and see you in 6 months.

"Immaculately Clean"

I have been using FACEMED for a number of years now for natural, painless Botox injections. A few years ago I decided to also have Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery. The clinic has its own operating theatre for the Consultant Plastic Surgeon to perform surgery, the results were perfect. FACEMED is immaculately clean, the staff are professional and helpful and Monica is an absolute expert in her field.

Monica is professional, thorough and honest and puts you at ease. I absolutely wouldn’t trust anyone else. The results are always very natural. The clinic is beautifully clean and always smells amazing! If I ever decide to go further than my regular ‘tweakments’ FACEMED will absolutely be my first port of call.
