Informacje o zabiegu
The most effective form of mallet toe treatment is surgery. It guarantees a quick return to painless walk. Thanks to it, we will prevent further callus, ingrown nail and subsequent irreversible arthritis. The surgeon proposes a procedure in case of failure of other conservative methods of treatment (e.g. change of footwear, applying fillers) and continuous development of deformation. The operation consists in incision of the skin and tissues located above the painful joint. It then removes the modified bone tissue and replaces it with an implant.
