Can hammertoe lead to other foot problems?

Asked a year ago

I have hammertoe quite bad on both feet and am just wondering if this could lead to any other foot related problems in the future. Cheers!

Without proper treatment, hammertoe can worsen progressively over time. leading to painful corn and calluses that can affect mobility. By affecting the kinetic chain, hammertoes can also lead to pain in the hip, knees, and ankle joints. It is best to manage hammertoes before that happens. Custom insoles are a good way to start.
