The ultimate goal of hammer toe surgery is to improve the symptoms by restoring function and alignment and avoiding recurrence. This correction procedure can be accomplished only if the treating surgeon has a sound understanding of the normal anatomy and pathology of the various deformities. If conservative treatments to correct your hammertoe were to no avail, you are fortunate to have access to the service of the leading podiatric physician in Clifton, New Jersey, and Wayne, New Jersey, Dr. Velimir Petkov. His workmanlike job has attracted international attention and has made him arguably the best hammer toe surgeon in NJ.

What Is Hammer Toe?

Hammertoes are deformities that cause the toes to bend or curl downward instead of pointing forward as they should. This sort of deformity can affect any of your toes. Typically, the second or third toe is affected. Hammertoe is a treatable condition in the majority of cases.

What Causes Hammer Toe?

A toe is made out of two joints, which allow it to bend at the middle and the bottom. When the middle joint gets flexed or bent downward, it can lead to hammertoe. Some common causes of hammertoe include:
Arthritis
Wearing shoes that don‘t fit the way they should
Traumatic toe injury
Having an unusually high foot arch
Tight ligaments or tendons in the foot or pressure from a bunion
Spinal cord nerve damage or peripheral nerve damage
There are some risk factors that increase the possibility of developing a hammertoe. These risk factors include having a family history of the condition and suffering from calluses, bunions, and corns.
