Treatment

Conservative treatment can consist of one or more of the following.

1. 
   
   Trimming, digital splinting and/or padding of the corn.


2. 
   
   Orthotics or inserts in shoe to correct improper walking.


3. 
   
   Injections to relieve pain and inflammation.


4. 
   
   Larger or extra depth shoes to accommodate toe deformities.
   

If these conservative methods are unsuccessful in treating your deformity, then corrective toe surgery should be considered. Your podiatrist will conduct a thorough medical history and examination to determine your options. Lab tests, advanced imaging studies and X-rays will be scheduled if necessary.

The surgical correction or your toe deformity may be performed in the office, outpatient surgical procedures. Each case requires individual evaluation to determine the best surgical approach.
