About the procedure

Toe deformity correction surgery involves realignment of the toes or first metatarsal to correct painful deformities such as hammer toes or bunions. The procedure alleviates pain, prevents ulceration, and improves the ability to wear shoes comfortably. Surgical techniques include osteotomy, tendon release, or joint fusion depending on the severity and type of deformity. Fixation may involve wires, screws, or plates. Postoperative care includes protected weight-bearing, use of specialized footwear, physiotherapy, and a gradual return to normal activities to ensure proper healing and restore foot function.
