Hammertoe GONE in under 10 minutes! | Dr. Freels

This patient had previously come in to the office to trim an irritating callus on the tip of his toe. It turns out that this callus was forming because his toe was completely curled downward, forcing the tip of his toe to scrape the ground. This curl is called a hammertoe and is caused by tightness in the tendon.

Dr. Freels performed a quick and easy Tenotomy and Capsulotomy in which she cuts the tendon in his toe, releasing tension, and allowing the toe to straighten out.

This is a quick, simple, and painless procedure that can be done right here in our office, and Dr. Freels did it in under 10 minutes!

If you have any questions about hammertoes or think you could be a candidate for this procedure, comment below and Dr. Freels can answer any questions you have!
