Some of the pain of hammer toe is transferred to the metatarsals. Insoles that cushion the ball of your foot or provide extra support just beneath the toes can sometimes provide relief. A toe crest pad is a ring of material that goes around the hammer toe and is held in place by an attached pad that sits under your toes.
They are usually made of gel or felt. If not too irritating, they can be helpful to some people with overlapping toes. Having enough room in your shoes for your toes to splay out in a natural way will have a big effect on correcting or worsening hammer toes. When you do look into new shoes, wear your orthotics while you try shoes on to find the right size and fit.
Here are fast facts on your toe joints:. Your toe is made up of three small bones, known as phalanges. Starting from the tip of your toe, the three bones are:. This is the middle joint between the proximal phalanx and the middle phalanx. The PIPJ is bent downward flexed. The metatarsophalangeal joint MTPJ is in either the neutral position and hyperextended position. The distal interphalangeal joint DIPJ is either hyperextended or in the neutral position.
Foot specialists podiatrists can prescribe a custom-made orthotic that will work best for you. A professional known as an orthotist or prosthetist can design an orthotic to fit your foot and precise condition. There are also many things your foot doctor can look for that you may not be aware of.
These include:. If pain continues or increases despite orthotics, surgery is sometimes the only solution. A procedure known as resection arthroplasty is the one most commonly used. A study in of 63 people toes found that resection arthroplasty relieved pain for 92 percent of the people studied.
Five percent experienced minor complications. The study was done an average of 61 months after completion of surgery.
The main cause of hammer toe is frequent wearing of shoes that are too tight in the toe box, including high-heeled shoes. The condition often occurs gradually , although it can be brought on by trauma. Hammer toe can also be a secondary result of another toe deformity known as hallux valgus.
Hallux valgus is a misalignment of the big toe that usually causes a bunion on the outside of the toe. The misalignment of the big toe causes crowding of the smaller toes. The crowding can lead to a hammer toe, just as if the bones were being pressed by high heels or a tight toe box. Two related conditions are mallet toe and claw toe.
Mallet toe happens when the distal interphalangeal joint, not the middle joint, bends downward. In claw toe, the metatarsophalangeal joint is in hyperextension and the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints are in flexion.
