In general, the term “hammer toes” describes a buckling of any of the toe joints. Joints at the end or middle of the toe, as well as the joint near the ball of the toe, may be affected. Toe joints usually curl because of a muscle imbalance or tight tendons. Hammer toes vary in severity and in the number of joints and toes involved.
