There are many ways to treat hammer fingers, such as finger exercises, manual therapy by a physical therapist, and wearing special finger straightening orthoses. There are strategies that allow you to relieve ailments, slow down the progression of deformity or improve the position of the fingers for a short time. In order to obtain the desired shape of the fingers permanently, it is recommended to undergo surgery.

An indication for surgery is any degree of deformation of the hammer toes, which causes pain and makes it difficult to use everyday shoes.

Thanks to the stiffening of the finger with wire, very good results are obtained, but in some cases internal implants are also used. The decision on the type of anastomosis is made by the surgeon - depending on the type of deformity and the patient's expectations. Internal implants cost a treatment several hundred zlotys and provide worse stability than the classic so-called Kirschner rod.
