What is a hammertoe? How are they caused?

0

A hammertoe is a deformity where the joints of the toe become contracted and the toe begins to curl as a result. It can be either flexible or rigid and is caused by a dynamic imbalance of the muscle that attach to the toes. This is also a progressive condition and also requires surgery to correct.
