“…These include diaphysectomy, 30,31 partial proximal phalangectomy, [32][33][34] and amputation as salvage. 35,36 These options have been reported with moderate success and are mentioned mainly for historical interests. However, digital amputation can be an excellent salvage for the patient with multiple previous failed hammertoe corrections, particularly in an elderly or sedentary patient population.…”

The pathology and management of lesser toe deformities

Deformities of the lesser toes are common and can be associated with significant morbidity. These deformities are often multiple, and numerous treatment strategies have been described in the literature.The goal of surgical treatment is to improve symptoms by restoring alignment and function, and avoiding recurrence. In order to achieve this, it is essential for the treating surgeon to understand the normal anatomy and pathology of the various deformities.There is a paucity of prospective studies and randomisedcontrolled trials assessing the efficacy of specific interventions.We describe the normal anatomy and biomechanics of the lesser toes, and the pathology of commonly adult deformities. The rationale behind various treatment strategies is discussed and the results of published literature presented. Algorithms for the management of lesser toe deformities based on current literature are proposed.
