A member asked:

Should i have my webbed toes cut and fixed?

Maybe: I would only have surgery if you are having pain or that is psychologically bothering you.

No: This is a technically very difficult surgery with high complication rates including amputation if this fails. This should only be done for pain control. It is usually only a cosmetic problem.
