Hammertoe Symptoms

Hammertoe is a toe condition where the second, third, or fourth toes are bent in the middle joint to resemble a hammer or a claw-like shape. This condition usually develops after wearing ill-fitting shoes or footwear that creates muscle imbalance. A narrow shaped shoe may force the toes to bend downward. After a prolonged period, the toes will not be straightened out without pain. The hammertoe condition may also include the formation of calluses around the joint. Arthritis may cause hammertoe as can toe injury or genetic disposition.

A proper examination by our podiatrist will help determine the extent of your symptoms. Typical symptoms of hammertoe include:

  • Pain at the bent toe
  • Unable to move toe joint
  • Swollen toe joint
  • Pain on the ball of the foot near the bent joint
  • Corns or calluses on the toe joint
