Can Claw And Hammer Toes Be Done Bilaterally At The Same Surgery?

I have a tender right bunion, that causes sudden stabs of pain if my shoe is not thick and soft soled. I had the left bunion fixed in 07 but have bilateral neroma pain and claw and hammer toes. that are painful in most shoes . The small toes are folding under the 4th toes causing corns. Going in flat shoes or barefoot is very painful and I change shoes twice a day , no heels or pretty shoes. -just sensible ones. Darn! 38 years of nursing and flat feet ...How feasible is a surgery to repair rt bunion and claw/hammer toes and get to back to work in a reasonable time. How hard at age 60(and no predisposing health concerns) to have claw and hammar toes done bilaterally at same surgery? I am a nurse at an adult workshop and daycare, a lot of sitting, fortunately.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
You can do bunion correction at your age and probably in 2-3 weeks you can join your work back.

You may need neurotropic medication with analgesic .

For neuroma surgical exicision is good for permanent cure.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
