What Your Evaluation May Include
- Evaluation of the toe position and flexibility
- Assessment of painful pressure areas and nearby joints
- Review of how the problem affects walking and shoes
- Discussion of appropriate options after the examination
Recovery and Follow-Up
If surgery becomes appropriate, recovery depends on the exact correction performed and individual healing. The surgeon reviews the expected recovery before scheduling a procedure.
What to Expect
The examination looks at the position and movement of the toe, pressure areas, nearby joints, and the effect on walking or shoe comfort. The findings determine whether nonsurgical care or a surgical discussion is appropriate.
