How Does Hammer Toe Occur?

July 6th, 2010

A hammer toe is actually a single or maybe two toes which are bent upwards from the base and also downwards in the end. This is typically brought on by a big toe of which is pushing on the 2nd toe. This particular is usually referred to as a bunion. The other cause regarding a hammer toe is footwear that is too tight. As a result of the shoe or footwear being too short is that the toe is pushed backward. The biggest consequence of a hammer toe is the pressure between the top of the toe and the shoe which usually results in a painful corn. A corn often develops on the end of the toe as well.
