Hammer toe deformity is more than just a cosmetic issue. It can cause significant pain, discomfort, and long-term foot problems. This condition develops when the muscles and tendons in the toes become imbalanced, causing the toe to bend downwards.

Initially, hammer toe deformity may be flexible, meaning the joint can still move. However, without treatment, it can become stiff and harder to fix. Patients often feel pain when wearing shoes, and they may also develop corns, calluses, and have trouble walking long distances.
