  Curled Toes and Curved Toes

When toes are misaligned it can be very painful to walk and/or wear shoes. "Hammer" toes are caused when the middle joint in the toe cannot straighten. "Claw" toe is caused when the joint closest to the foot cannot straighten, and when one toe crosses over another one it is called a "deviated" toe. All of these problems can be corrected by removing part of the bone or soft tissue to restore proper alignment. Usually a pin is used to stabilize the bone while it heals in its newly straightened position.
