Straightening Lesser Toe(s)

This is an operation to correct deformities of the toes other than the big toe, usually “hammer” or “claw” toes. The operation described here is the commonest which is done for these problems. It’s used when the joint at the base of the toe is flexible but the joint in the toe itself is stiff – this is the usual situation.
