There’s an old myth that if the lesser toes on your foot are longer than the great toe, the person is supposed to be lucky… regardless of the truth of this myth, most people who have a longer second or lesser toes (toes 2 through 5) suffer with difficult task of finding shoes that fit and eventually developing structural deformities called hammertoes.  The fact is that shoes aren’t made for optimal biomechanical control and fit to an individual’s foot.  Thus, when a person inherits long lesser toes they end up getting smaller shoes in order to get a better fit for function.

Now there is a solution that doesn’t involve extensive recovery and pain.  Dr. Sadrieh has innovated a revolutionary outpatient procedure that effectively shortens long lesser digits.  This sophisticated procedure is done cosmetically so there is no evidence of surgery when the surgical site has healed completely.  With the use of high tech internal fixation, Dr. Sadrieh can provide the patient with a result that is permanent, beautiful and involves a easy and short recovery.

Imagine… no more toes hanging off the end of those open-toed shoes; or no more corns on the top of those toes because they have been hammered in closed shoes for years!  This procedure differs significantly from the commonly performed hammertoe correction.  Older techniques require wires to fixate the toe during recovery which means keeping your feet dry for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery.  These older techniques also have a high risk of infection during the recovery period and are often painful with a not-so-cosmetic result.
