Abstract
Hammertoe deformities are common pathologies treated in podiatry clinics and are most often associated with tendon imbalances. In this case study, we present the case of a 41-year-old patient with soft-tissue chondroma being the cause of a rigid deformity. We describe the surgical technique used to remove and treat the hammertoe.
