Suffering from the Pain, Discomfort and Potential Embarrassment of Hammertoe, Claw Toe, Mallet Toe, or Other Toe Conditions?

There are a variety of conventional, non-invasive and non-surgical treatments for the correction of these painful and sometimes embarrassing toe conditions. Consult with your podiatrist or orthopedic foot doctor to determine if corrective surgery is needed, and whether the Smart Toe implant is the right solution for you.

For years, foot surgery to correct and repair the rigid bent toes associated with hammertoes, claw toes, and mallet toes required that a “k-wire” be inserted to stabilize the toe for as long as six weeks. The process can be painful, uncomfortable and prone to infection.

A new surgical treatment using the Smart Toe® Memory Implant, available in the U.S. since 2007, provides a new option for this procedure that according to surgeons:

• Produces faster fusion of the repaired toe joint
• Is less painful during the 4-6 week recovery period
• Results in fewer complications after surgery

The implant is completely internal, with no external wires. Its “memory” capability helps compress the joint into its proper shape; its one-piece design doesn’t interfere with nearby healthy joints; and it resists rotation problems common to other hammertoe, mallet toe and claw toe corrective surgeries.
