hammertoe
(3 discussions)
I was diagnosed with hammertoe in 2011.
I have seen several doctors since and all, with the exception, being a representative of the Veterans Administration, did not diagnose the hammertoe.
He states “There was not evidence of hammertoe.” “The diagnosis is that there was not pathology today to render a diagnosis.”Can hammertoe, once diagnosed, disappear without the proper treatment?

It is unlikely a hammertoe would disappear as it is a positional or bony deformity of the toe. What might be confusing the issue is possibly a corn that occurred due to the hammmertoe that might have disappeared. An example of this can happen when poorly fitting shoes are fitted properly, or there is a change in the level of activity, or weight loss

: The Veterans Affairs used the terminoloy to diagnose my feet as right foot trauma with residual second toe deformity, what is the difference between hammertoe, if any?
