Can toe deformity be fixed?
Most toe deformities are flexible but if untreated they may become rigid and can only be treated by surgical methods. Treatment of toe deformities starts with conservative methods, but if no effective response is seen, then surgery is recommended.
How do you fix a misaligned toe?
Crooked toes can often be corrected by lifestyle strategies, such as choosing well-fitting footwear and avoiding high heels. At-home treatments, such as wearing a splint or toe spacer, may also help. If the crooked toe has become set and rigid, or if it doesn’t respond to at-home treatment, surgery may be recommended.
