Toe Shortening Procedure with "Smart Toe" Implant - Dr Robert Moore

This gentleman had a long second "hammertoe" that he wanted to shorten and straighten. The "Smart Toe" implant was used to hold his toe in the new shortened and straight position. One of the most common post operative problems with this procedure is that the big toe pushes the second toe towards the third and then heals at that abnormal angle. The smart toe prevents this and Dr. Moore has performed this surgery on many patients as well as instructs students on this technique.
