A member asked:
I have hammertoes on both feet. i don't think that they are rigid because i can move them. is there anything that i can do besides surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flexible Hammertoes: If they are flexible and painless, there is no need for treatment. Just wear well supportive footwear with enough room in the toe-box area of the shoe for the toes.
