Orthotics (prescription insoles), in some cases, can control the progression of the contraction of the toe, however, never let any shoe store or arch support mislead into thinking orthotics can cure hammertoe. Permanent fix can only be achieved through corrective surgery to straighten the fingers and remove any bone highlighted. These procedures are usually easy to recover, and most people are back in their normal shoes within a month from a post-operative recovery sandals. The process usually involves the removal of part of the bone in the toe joint which is more important, allowing the toe to settle back down. The space created by the removal of the bone acts as a new set, replacing part of the joint removed during the procedure. Often, other methods are also used to rebalance tight and puts abnormally soft tissue, and occasionally from the bottom of the toe tendon is moved to the top to balance the bending force on the finger foot.

External or internal removable absorbable pins are used to keep the tip of the right while healing, scar tissue will cause the toe to warp up again if it is not kept in proper alignment during the recovery period. Sometimes, severe cases require toes to be partially fused, and it prolongs the healing time for a few weeks. This merger allows the toes to be rigidly straight. It is used in cases in which there is great instability toe when the toe is expected to contract again after due to neurological disease, or when there is arthritis. Essentially, one or more of the joints of the toes are made to merge, eliminating the movement out to the right. The rigid toe that is all it is very stable, resistant to change even more, and painless. A combination of internal and external wires, pins, or implants can help bridge the bone together, it usually takes 5-6 weeks to occur.
