Hammertoes occur when toes bend or curl abnormally due to an imbalance in the surrounding muscles, tendons, or ligaments. This condition can cause pain, difficulty walking, and even corns or calluses due to friction with footwear. At Pearl Foot and Ankle, we offer advanced surgical techniques to correct hammertoes and help you regain a pain-free, active lifestyle.
