What is a Hammertoe?

A nail lodged in a foot.

A nail lodged in a foot.

Hammertoes, also known as clawed toes, crooked toes or mallet toes, are often caused by a muscle imbalance from an unnatural walk, or by genetic predisposition. The best means of hammertoe correction is through Dr. Moy's skilled surgical techniques.

Signs of hammertoes are a long second toe that is often crowded into a bent position, a stiff tendon that prohibits a toe from resting flat, or a bunion on the big toe that forces the second toe into a cramped position.

If you are suffering from hammertoe, let Dr. Moy perform his hammertoe surgery to be back on your feet and pain-free in no time.
