    A "Hammer-Toe" deformity, describes a pathological condition of abnormal or exaggerated contracture at the metatarsal-phalangeal and inter-phalangeal joints of the toes. This is mainly due to an imbalance between the muscular flexors and extensors as well as intrinsic interossei and lumbrical muscles within the forefoot.
    A hammer toe deformity may present as one of three morphological variations. A true hammer-toe deformity will exhibit dorsiflexion at the metatarsal-phalangeal joint and plantar flexion at the proximal interphalangeal joint. Whereas a mallet toe solely results from a plantarflexory contracture of the distal interphalangeal joint. A simultaneous combination of these two conditions is thus known as a claw toe.
    Clinically, a hammer toe may present with hypertrophic callosities on the plantar surface of the corresponding metatarsal head and the distal/plantar tip of the toe in addition to a painful corn over the proximal interphalangeal joint.
    A radiographic analysis of a hammer-toe deformity in the Anterior/Posterior or Dorsal/Plantar view will reveal a hallowed point or gun barrel appearance of the middle phalanx.
    Although conservative care may involve shoe modifications, padding, strapping, and custom orthosis; surgical reconstruction may be required to alleviate painful and immobilizing hammer-toe conditions.
    This surgical management of the hammer-toe deformity is performed by variable means of "Sequential Reduction." By this, a hammer-toe contracture is alleviated through various procedures in order to re-establish a functional position during active motion as well as rest.
    This process may include, a lengthening of the extensor tendons, followed by a resection of the extensor hood. An "Arthroplasty" may be utilized to increase useable joint space within the proximal inter-phalangeal joint by removing the head of the proximal phalanx.
    In more extreme deformities, a tenotomy of the flexor tendon may be utilized. This may be accompanied by a fusion of the joint itself, known as an "Arthrodesis," whereby the base of the middle phalanx and the head of the proximal phalanx are combined to form one continuous bone mass.
    By balancing the forces of plantarflexion and dorsiflexion at the joints of the toe, a Hammer-toe operation may result in a drastic improvement of the functional mobility of the foot and leg during gait.

    You don't. I had this done to 2 of my toes on my left foot. I couldn't wear a standard shoe for 8 weeks then, once the pins were removed, it took a few more months for final swelling to go down. It is strange to not be able to curl those toes again. Just pray you don't hit those pins on anything while implanted. It was unbearable.

    Dear God I don't know if I should have watched that. I got this surgery done June 4th. It's true about not being in pain the day of surgery mostly because they will give you an injection in the back of your knee to make everything numb below it. Once it wears off the next day I was in so much pain I felt like someone hammered my toes... no pun intended. Now I'm just waiting for them to pull the pins out of my toes... Way too nervous..

  • @DrGlassDPM

    Essentially, a hammertoe surgery entails a combination of soft tissue (skin, tendons, joint capsule) release, as well as bone resection (removal or remodeling) in order to straiten out the toe and improve function. The video above, demonstrates this with an anatomic explanation.

      Hi DrGlassDPM, I have this condition that affects the second finger of my right foot. Moreover, I suffer since many years ago of plantar fasciitis at the same foot, that "flat foot" condition was always blaimed as the guilty of. However, is it possibile that this longer second finger than the allux is the real guilty of my plantar fasciitis? I am asking this because I read that it is able to cause this problem too, and because I have both "flat feet" but just the right one (that has second finger longer than the allux) suffers of plantar fasciitis, that I "manage" with orthopedic insoles plantar and avoiding run more than 10 kms (despite it was one of my passion years ago unfortunately). Thank you and greetings from Italy.

    @DrGlassDPM  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @HaligonianType1 Sorry for the typo. Yes, Toe nails as it were...
    If they continue to grow back ingrown/incurvated, despite multiple removals: Have you not considered a Partial or Total Matrixectomy? By this, they actually kill the nail root and the toenail doesn't return. This is an option for troublesome nails.
    Since you mentioned not wanting to waste your time with multiple appointments, I would imagine that bypassing an attempt at nail spacers and such are may be more right for you.

  • @DrGlassDPM

    @DrGlassDPM  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Chiangsterr It would not be termed a "neccessary" procedure without the presence of pain or discomfort. That's mainly because of the risk of complication. Imagine a painless toe now being painful after the operation; it's a rare side effect, but still possible.

    @allisonportillo The taping of the toes doesn't neccessarily "continue" the healing process, per se. It is intended to hold an optimal position for the toes to heal properly.
    The configuration and positioning of the toes, via taping, would be dependent on the doctor's procedure and post op orders. Chances are, he/she has you follow-up with them in clinic and the toes will be taped as needed.

Also hygiene for foot.. Change your shoes for real leather. It's provided oxygen for foot. Bath them with Epsom salt. Check if skin is dry or sweating. Use pure talk or other medicine. Ask pharmacist what is for. And offcourse contact doctor.

    Had my big toe done , when I was a child. My bit toe is now bent toward my other toes which don't touch the ground. With a sock on, my foot looks like a Woman's pointed High heel shoe. My entire foot is 2 inches shorted than my other one. No pain though.

    I am a Type 1 diabetic, so I am very careful when it comes to keeping them clean. Altho I have never had an issue, and I heal quite fast. And yes, feet rock. Hah...

    Just had hammer toe surgery on both my feet and let me tell you I’m in excruciating pain. 4 days later and it’s painful to walk to the bathroom, take a whole 10 min moving like a turtle to pee.

      After all of this time, would you say the procedure was worth it? Are you happy with the appearance of your toes? My toes are now at the point of hurting, and I also want to wear open toe shoes.

    @carolynbryce1 Foot types and structure do follow a hereditary pattern. It sounds like you've already tried a number of conservative options. No luck?

    I doesn't really hurt if it is done in a proper way. For interest watch out on our channel. There you can watch a hammer toe treatment from the first interview to the final rehab.

    This is an excellent review of hammertoe with a well-thought out layout. I plan to use this video for a presentation although I think I noticed a flaw with the "gun-barrell appearance" part of your video.
    When watching the part of the radiograph analysis (1:03) it seems as if the camera is directed to a superior view and the toe bends toward the camera. Am I viewing this wrong?

    I have had the fusion of one toe and the tendon release of 3 toes. You are off your feet for about 14 days and in bed for about 7 days. The operation is really not that bad.

    I have a bad hammer toe and I have talked with 2 doctors here in Poland that say because of severe deformity, that the only thing that can be done is amputation. Is this country just far behind or what. My sister at age 70 had this done in Rochester N.Y. I am age 66

    • @jaybanner2905
      @jaybanner2905 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Danny Greenfield Them doctors are going for the cheapest and easiest option for them, which is amputation unfortunately. Due to My Diabetes giving Me foot ulcers that got infected, I was left with both middle toes on both feet becoming stiff, unmoving hammer toes. I was told the same thing.. amputation or live with them and a limp when I walk. I wish you the best getting your feet fixed. I'm going to pay for private healthcare.
