hammertoe
Hammertoe is a foot deformity that occurs when the muscles, ligaments, or tendons responsible for maintaining the balance and position of the toe are damaged or imbalanced. This condition causes the toe to bend or curl downward instead of pointing forward, resembling a hammer. It can happen to any toe but mostly affects the second or third toe and often results from wearing ill-fitting shoes or having an underlying medical condition like arthritis or stroke.
