Hammertoe Deformities and How to Fix Them | Marian Footcare Podcast | Ep. 2

In Episode 2 of the Marian Footcare Podcast, Dr. Imaze Marian Davis, DPM presents a detailed case review of a "forefoot slam" hammertoe deformity treated using Minimally Invasive Surgery.This episode begins with the patient’s clinical presentation, including the structural deformities, symptoms, and functional limitations that led to surgical intervention. Dr. Davis explains the underlying causes of hammertoes—highlighting the role of biomechanical imbalance, tendon dysfunction, and progressive deformity over time.The focus then shifts to surgical management, where Dr. Davis walks through her use of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques to correct the deformity. She discusses the rationale behind the procedure, key steps in the correction, and how MIS allows for precise realignment while minimizing tissue disruption.Listeners will gain insight into how advanced surgical techniques can dramatically transform foot structure, reduce pain, and restore function. This episode is valuable for both patients considering treatment options and clinicians interested in modern approaches to forefoot reconstruction.
