Hammer Toe Treatment in Plano, TX and McKinney, TX

Hammer toe is a deformity found in the second third or fourth toe. The inflammation caused by hammer toe is similar to a bunion. A toe with this deformity is bent at the last joint and points the tip of the toe downward. This gives the toe a hammer-like appearance.
