Toe Shortening

Some patients consult with long toes that require shortening. This enables them to feel more comfortable when they wear open-toed, fashionable footwear.

Surgery is able to straighten toes, thereby removing the pressure sites responsible for painful skin lesions such as corns and callouses.
