Toe Deformities Treatment in Adelaide
Toe deformities can result from various causes such as bone deformities, congenital disabilities, strokes, or conditions affecting ligaments and tendons.
Symptoms of Toe Deformities
Toe deformities can manifest as differently shaped toes, including curling of the second to fifth toes. Common deformities like hammer toe, claw toe, mallet toe, and ingrown toenails can cause difficulty in finding suitable footwear. They often lead to issues like constant rubbing, friction, calluses, corns, cracked heels, and occasionally infections.
These conditions may also impact walking patterns. At Keep Me Walking Podiatry in Adelaide, we specialize in diagnosing and treating issues stemming from toe deformities.

FAQs for Toe Deformities Treatment
What makes your toes deform?
Hammertoe and mallet toe are foot deformities that happen due to an imbalance in the muscles, which normally hold the toe straight. The type of shoes you wear, foot structure, and certain disease processes can contribute to the development of these deformities.
Are toe deformities hereditary?
Foot deformities happen as a result of a genetic defect, or birth injury. Sometimes, such deformities are hereditary. They may also, in some cases, result from the harmfulness to the baby of specific prescriptions the mother has ingested during pregnancy.
Why do toes curl with age?
Because of muscle imbalances, older toes tend to curl into “claw toes.” And older people especially older women are prone to developing bunions, in the big toe that causes the end of the metatarsal bone at the base of the toe to angle out.
Do toe deformities require surgery?
If you have a toe deformity such as a hammer toe, mallet toe or claw toe but it is asymptomatic and does not cause you any complications in your daily life, surgery is not required.
