Hammertoe
is a bending deformity of one or both joints of the second, third, fourth or
fifth toes. The problem happens due to an imbalance in ligaments & muscles
that hold the toe straight. It bends the toe downward instead of keeping it
straight. One of the key reason causing this problem includes wearing a small
size or narrow shoes that bend the toe. Besides this, some other reasons that
can cause hammertoe include rheumatoid arthritis, vein or muscle damage,
Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, osteoarthritis, stroke, and other feet problems.
The discomfort or pain caused due to hammertoe can be controlled by changing
the footwear. Generally, hammertoe occurs owing to wrong selection of shoes
which affects toe muscles, but in some cases, the problem may be present by
birth itself.
