Hammertoe Correction by Surgeons, Not PAs

Our surgeons perform hammertoe correction. You are evaluated and treated by a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon. Our team is equipped to handle the full range of hammertoe presentations, from simple flexible deformities through complex rigid and combined cases.

Surgeries are performed at Northern Rocky Surgery Center, and our surgeons favor minimally invasive techniques that use smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and faster recovery. Many hammertoe cases occur alongside bunions, corns, or metatarsalgia. Our surgeons are trained to address multiple conditions in a single outpatient procedure when appropriate, which reduces total recovery time.

Post-op recovery is coordinated with our in-house physical therapy team, who work alongside our surgeons every day. Your PT already understands our surgical protocols and communicates directly with your surgeon throughout the recovery. Pain-free is not healed. Healed is not strong. We stay with you until you are back to what you want to do.

From Padding to Surgery

Conservative Care First

We start with the least invasive effective treatment. The right approach depends on what you actually have, which is why we examine you first. Not every hammertoe needs surgery, and we won't push it when it's not needed.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Correction

When surgery is indicated, our surgeons perform minimally invasive hammertoe correction at Northern Rocky Surgery Center using techniques including arthroplasty, tendon transfer, and internal fixation. For combined deformities, multiple corrections can be addressed in a single outpatient procedure.

The Full Range of Procedures

Our surgeons are equipped to perform any foot or ankle surgery permitted in Montana, from single-toe correction through revision of previous surgeries and complex combined reconstructions.

Integrated Post-Op Physical Therapy

Our in-house PT team handles post-op rehabilitation for every hammertoe surgery. Because they work under the same roof as our surgeons every day, they already know our surgical protocols and communicate directly with your surgeon. We focus on outcomes: getting you out of the surgical shoe, back into comfortable footwear, and back to the activities that matter to you.

Your Hammertoe Consultation

You sit down with a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon. We examine the toe, assess whether it is flexible or rigid, take imaging if indicated, and look at the overall foot structure to understand the full picture.

You leave with a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan matched to your case. If surgery is indicated, we walk you through the specific procedure, recovery timeline, and what your post-op rehab will look like with our in-house PT team. If conservative care is still the right call, we tell you that too. No pressure, no upselling.
