What Is a Hammer Toe?
Hammertoes are deformities of the feet that affect the second, third, or fourth toe. The affected toe bends from the middle joint in such a way that it resembles a hammer. This disorder results from an imbalance between the weak intrinsic muscles and the stronger extrinsic muscles that surround the MTPJ joints of the lesser digits.
Many people tend to overlook this foot condition without realizing how important the lesser digits are in the pressure distribution and balance of the foot. Hammertoes can be distinguished into three categories, including classic hammer toe, mallet toe, and claw toe. A thorough clinical evaluation of the patient is of the highest importance when aiming for desired outcomes.
