Hammer toe - toe shortening surgery video

This hammertoe surgery had an additional "toe shortening' request from the patient. Dr Moore and Dr Blanson explain the newer fixation devices that keep the toes stratight in line and with a more natural curvature downward after the procedure is finished. The solution is not only ease to insert during the hammer toe correction, permanent corn removal surgery, or toe shortening surgery, but you can bend it to give the toe a slight bend or any position you like. This is important for cosmetic foot surgery since correcting the hammer toe is one thing, but matching the rest of the toes is critical. Post operative care is relatively easy with suture removal at 2 weeks and of course no pin removal. Return to shoes is 2-4 weeks (patient preference) and heavy exercise in 4-8 weeks.
