Mallet Toe
A mallet toe occurs when the toe bends downwards at the end toe joint which is called the DIPJ (distal interphalangeal joint)
The toe often develops a painful corn to the tip of the toe. The nail can also become damaged if the toe is left untreated.
Treatment of mallet toes is straight-forward. A small operation to the toe will undo the buckle and straighten the toe permanently.
