Hammer Toe Repair Surgery, 1 Toe

A procedure used to alleviate pain or deformity in the toe. It is often performed to correct hallux valgus (Hammer Toe), or to straighten a bone that has healed improperly as a result of a fracture. This procedure involves the surgeon making one or more small incisions on the toe and inserting a small surgical camera (about the width of a pencil) into the incision. This camera is known as an endoscope. This camera allows the surgeon to see the toe in high definition and navigate around all of the structures. Once the toe has been examined, the bone in the toe may be trimmed, lengthened, or change in alignment. It is often performed to correct hallux valgus (Hammer Toe), or to straighten a bone that has healed improperly as a result of a fracture. The incision is then closed with either a stitch or sterile adhesive strips.

Hammer toe correction is performed as an outpatient procedure using a minimally invasive approach at Regency Healthcare’s state of the art surgical facility. Patients will not need to stay overnight and will be able to leave the surgical practice the same day. Each additional toe is $500.
