A hammertoe is a deformity that causes a toe to become bent upward in the middle so it resembles a hammer. A hammertoe also can be associated with a contracture of the joint at the base of the toe and can often occur in conjunction with a bunion or other foot problems. The hammertoe can be flexible or stiff. Depending on the flexibility of the toe and the preference of your London Foot and Ankle surgeon, several different surgical procedures can be used to treat the hammertoe.
