Abstract
Symptomatic lesser toe deformities should be corrected if conservative therapy is exhausted or no longer seems appropriate. Prevention of recurrence starts with the correct indication for the appropriate surgical procedure. The occasional difficult question of the cause of the deformity is crucial in this context. A correct surgical technique and appropriate after-care reduces the risk of recurrence. Due to tensed bony and soft-tissue conditions, revision surgery of the forefoot is challenging. If a revision becomes necessary, the cause of recurrence must be re-examined. This paper explains the appropriate indications and surgical techniques for correction of lesser toe deformities. Subsequently, specific postoperative complications and their management are discussed in detail.
