10 Causes of Hammer Toe
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #1: Injury
Injury or physical trauma is damage to the body caused by an external force. Examples include road traffic accidents, assault, and falls. A simple foot injury such as a fractured, jammed, or stubbed toe can result in a hammer toe.
Individuals who have a hammer toe should see a podiatrist for the management of their hammer toe. Early treatment helps prevent complications and improves prognosis.
