A member asked:
What can be done to correct a hammer toe? if surgery is required, can it be done under local only? how long is the typical recovery period?

Surgery- 3-4wk po: A hammertoe is a structural problem and surgery is the only way to correct the problem. It can be done with just numbing the toe. Post-op depends on the procedure performed. See a podiatrist to get your condition evaluated.
