Medical on Instagram: "Hammertoe surgery corrects the deformity of the toe that bends downward. First, a small incision is made in the affected toe. The surgeon removes or adjusts a portion of the bone to straighten the toe. They may also cut or realign tight tendons and ligaments. In some cases, small implants are used to maintain the toe's new position. Then, the incision is closed with sutures and a bandage is applied. Dm for credit or removal"
