The toes are complex in structure, made of bones and joints. The bones are connected to metatarsals by joints. The front of the foot is known as the forefoot and is made of toe bones known as phalanges. The forefoot is responsible for supporting half of the body weight, it controls your stand, walk, and jump. The muscles allow the toes to move and control how the foot hits the ground, makes it flexible and cushion the impact on the foot. The decision to undergo toe surgery is made when the symptoms are bad, painful, and are affecting your life, and do not respond to other non-surgical treatments. Some of the toe surgical options include bunion surgery, toe fusion surgery, hammertoe surgery, and big toe surgery.
