Hammer fingers
We specialize in modern and gentle hammertoe solutions
This condition most often appears on the second, third or fourth toe and worsens over time without treatment - it can lead to blisters, corns, inflammation and chronic pain. Hammer toes are often related to congenital predisposition, inappropriate footwear, flat feet or other foot deformities such as bunions (hallux valgus).
At the Medical Institute, we specialise in modern and gentle treatment of hammertoes, combining expert examination, an individual treatment plan and, if necessary, a minimally invasive surgical solution. Our goal is to relieve pain, improve finger function, and restore comfortable walking so that finger deformities do not continue to limit you.
A team of hammertoe specialists
A great advantage is that at the Medical Institute you will be taken care of by an experienced team of specialists who have been focusing on musculoskeletal problems and orthopaedic deformities of the fingers for a long time. Thanks to a careful examination and an individual approach, your doctor will recommend the most suitable solution for your type of hammertoe - whether it is conservative treatment, rehabilitation, appropriate aids or minimally invasive surgery.
Unlike home attempts to relieve pain, at the Medical Institute we are able to eliminate the cause of the problem, not just its manifestations. This significantly reduces the risk of the problem returning soon.
Our care includes advice on appropriate footwear, orthotic insoles and regimes to protect your feet from unnecessary overuse.
Why actually deal with hammer fingers
- Hammertoes are not just an aesthetic problem - if you don't deal with them in time, they can severely limit your everyday life.
- Deformed toes change the position of the foot, which often leads to pain when walking, blisters, corns and painful inflammation.
- Without treatment, hammertoes usually get progressively worse - the bent toe becomes fixed in the wrong position and starts to interfere with the shoe, so that wearing shoes becomes uncomfortable or even painful.
- Over time, permanent limitation of toe mobility, pain in the joint or overloading of other parts of the leg, knees and spine may occur.
- By addressing hammertoes, you prevent complications and unnecessary pain that takes the joy out of movement and everyday activities.
- Properly chosen treatment - whether conservative or surgical - will help return the toes to functionality and proper shape, improve walking comfort and allow you to wear regular shoes without blisters and uncomfortable pushing.
- Early treatment will help you avoid unnecessary inflammation and painful changes that would later require more complex surgery.
- And most importantly, you'll give your feet back their freedom and lightness, so you can get back to doing everything you love without worry.
For whom is hammertoe treatment suitable?
- Hammer toe treatment is suitable for anyone who suffers from deformities of the toes that bend downwards and cause pain, blisters or difficulty walking.
- Most often this problem affects people who have a congenital disposition, wear inappropriate footwear for a long time, suffer from bunions (hallux valgus) or have weakened muscles and ligaments in the foot.
- The treatment is ideal for anyone who feels that hammertoes restrict movement, cause difficulty in choosing shoes or lead to blisters, corns and inflammation.
- Early resolution is also recommended for those who want to prevent the condition from worsening, when the fingers remain fixed in the wrong position and may require more complex surgery.
- The treatment is also suitable for active people and athletes who want to maintain the functionality of the foot, the correct position of the toes and comfortable walking, without unnecessary pain and complications.
- So if you feel that hammertoes are affecting your daily life, now is the time to get expert care - and solve the problem before it starts to restrict your movement altogether.
How is the treatment of hammertoes
- First, you will have a careful orthopaedic examination, during which the doctor will assess the extent of the deformity of the fingers, assesses the position of the entire foot and identifies any other associated problems such as bunions or flat feet.
- This may include an X-ray to help set the optimal treatment plan.
- If the condition of the toes is less advanced, the doctor will recommend a conservative solution, which may include wearing special orthotic devices, corrective insoles, custom-made shoe inserts or exercises and rehabilitation to strengthen the muscles and ligaments of the foot.
- These methods help to relieve pain, prevent blisters and slow down further deterioration of the deformity.
- If the fingers are already fixed in an incorrect position and conservative treatment is not enough, the doctor will recommend a minimally invasive surgical procedure to adjust the position of the fingers and remove the cause of the deformity.
- The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis or with a short hospital stay, and the patient can return to normal activities after a short recovery.
- Our care also includes expert advice on how to care for your feet after the procedure - including recommendations for appropriate footwear, insoles and exercises to help maintain the correct position of your toes in the future.
- Thanks to the experienced team and modern methods, the treatment of hammertoes at the Medical Institute is safe, gentle and focused on long-term effects, so that you can walk comfortably, without pain and restrictions.
