A member asked:
I had my great toe amputated due to osteomyleitis on 9-9-20. my second toe has become a hammer toe. my diabetes is well controlled with an a1c of 5.6 for the past 6 months. i wear a toe splint every day which helps greatly. is there a simple fix?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. But there is (probably) a fix. You probably need orthotic shoes, maybe further surgery on the 2nd toe. Check with a Podiatrist
