JAWS Podiatry is proud to offer multiple options for toe surgery, including aesthetic toe-shortening surgery, toe-straightening surgery, toe-lengthening surgery as well as hammertoe surgery.
Toe problems are divided into 3 main toe deformities. These include a hammer toe, claw toe, or a mallet toe. In all these deformities, the toe becomes buckled, contracted or crooked at different joints. The toe could even cross over an adjacent toe, which is called a cross over toe. Any of the toes may be affected, but the 2nd and 5th toe are most commonly involved.

Aesthetic Toe-Shortening Surgery
Patients with a long toe may pain associated with the tip of the toe. Excessive pressure from shoes may result in the formation of a hardened portion of skin (corn or callus) on the tip of the toe. A buckled long toe (hammer toe) can also have pain and callus formation over the toe knuckles. Some people may not recognize that they have a long toe, rather they identity the excess skin build-up of a corn. The toe(s) may become irritated, red, warm, and/or swollen. The pain may be dull and mild or severe and sharp. Pain is often made worse by shoes, especially shoes that crowd the toes. While some long toes may cause significant pain, others may not be painful at all. Painful toes can prevent you from wearing stylish shoes. A long toe is at risk to progress onto a hammer toe as the tip of the shoe pushed directly on the toe – causing it to contract. Over time, the toe can become permanently contracted.
Aesthetic Toe-Straightening Surgery
Cosmetic foot surgery is usually driven by more than just vanity. Crooked or angular toes can cause discomfort and pain during normal activities such as walking or wearing certain shoes. Fortunately, you have options.
Toe straightening surgery can restore a natural appearance to your feet by correcting misaligned toes.
Aesthetic Toe-Lengthening Surgery
Toe lengthening surgery can improve the appearance of short toes for a graceful-looking pair of feet. During your toe lengthening procedure, the metatarsal bone causing your short toe is surgically corrected to point in-line with the rest of your toes, eliminating any overlap or crowding. Patients can expect long-lasting results after undergoing toe lengthening surgery.
