Foot surgery can be a life changing experience, with 33 bones and many tendons, foot surgery sounds like serious business indeed. Hammertoe foot surgery straightens the toe after loosening the tendons and realigning the bone structure. Bunion surgery requires the deformation to be excised and the toe repositioned. To shorten an overlong toe, the surgeon removes some of the bone from the second and third joints of the second toe.

High heels can cause bunions, where the big toe points toward the little toe; bunionettes on the ‘pinky toe’ and hammertoes, or curled up toes, which are crooked and don’t lie flat. Not only do those imperfections look bad, left untreated, they can eventually make walking more difficult.
