Frequently Asked Questions – Hammertoe Surgery in Chelsea
What is hammertoe surgery and who needs it?
Hammertoe surgery corrects toes that are bent abnormally at the middle joint. It’s recommended when the condition becomes painful, stiff, or interferes with walking and doesn’t improve with conservative treatments.
When should I consider hammertoe surgery in Chelsea?
If toe pain limits your daily activities, causes recurring corns or calluses, or makes it difficult to wear normal shoes, surgical correction may be the best long-term solution.
Is hammertoe surgery performed as an outpatient procedure?
Yes. Most hammertoe surgeries in Chelsea are done on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day with minimal downtime.
How long does it take to recover after hammertoe surgery?
Recovery time varies, but many patients can walk in a surgical shoe shortly after the procedure. Swelling gradually decreases over a few weeks, with full healing typically within a few months.
