Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a hammertoe that has had surgery and it has been painful to walk in shoes or without shoe since the surgery. Can the surgery be reversed as the toe is too straight and on walking hits the floor or shoe bottom causing pain where toe is attached to foot. Also have a neuroma beside it
Dear Patient, the surgery of the hammer toe, cannot be reversed, but certainly you can be helped by realignment with repeat surgery, if you are not satisfied with your present ortho doc, than see another one and get yourself cured. Thanks
