The Basics of Hammer Toe

Hammer toe is a common foot deformity where one or more of the smaller toes develops an abnormal bend at the middle joint, causing the toe to point downward rather than lying flat. This condition often occurs due to muscle imbalances, which cause the tendons and ligaments in the toe to tighten and shorten. Hammer toe can lead to discomfort, difficulty walking, and the development of corns or calluses on the top of the affected toe due to friction with shoes.

How to spot the early signs?

Hammer toe often develops due to wearing tight or high-heeled shoes that force the toes into a bent position. Over time, this causes the muscles and tendons to tighten, leading to a permanent deformity. Other factors include injuries, arthritis, and inherited foot types. If untreated, hammer toe can worsen, causing pain, difficulty finding shoes, and potential complications like sores or infections. Early treatment with proper footwear or exercises can help manage or correct the condition.
