HAMMERTOE

It is a rigid or flexible deformation of the joint or articulation of any toe, which causes the tendon to contract or shrink causing a curved or bent finger position. This deformity shoes interferes in the use of since the finger rub on top of them and eventually produce callus.
It is important to know that these calluses are not a skin problem, but a problem caused by the deformity of the joint and cleaning them is not a solution since they grow back. Some treatments are performed for reducing pain such as the use of insoles or anti inflammatory injections.
Another solution is a minor surgery with local anesthesia, which does not require hospitalization and you can walk the same day.
