There are many kinds of toe problems requiring surgery. These include removal of:

• Bunions, an enlargement of the bone and tissue around the joint of the big toe.
• Hammertoes, which are frequently caused by an imbalance in the tendon or joints of the toes.
• Neuromas, an irritation of a nerve between the third and fourth toes.
• Bone spurs, an overgrowth of bone under the toenail plate, causing nail deformity and pain.
