HAMMER TOE SPECIALISTS in Upper East Side

What Causes Hammer Toe?

People ask hammertoe surgeons every day to explain what caused their toe to become bent like this. The hammer toe deformity occurs when the muscles that stabilize your toes lose the delicate balance between them and start to overpower each other. This causes your toe to bend or become stuck in a curled position. This can become painful because the contracted toes bump against the top of your shoe. The ball of the foot can also become painful since the toes are not carrying any weight as they contract off the ground.
