yes, in my office, all hammertoes are fixed with local anesthesia, in office procedure, no hardware, and patients walk on the same day.
It’s an option.,
Yes. But this is a discussion you must have with your surgeon and the anesthesiologist prior to surgery.
Hammertoe surgery can be done under local anesthesia. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment options
