The system rebalances the soft tissue which runs along the top and bottom of the toe. An implant is introduced to capture the soft tissue and pin it against bone, stabilizing the toe in its corrected position. Most patients can put weight on their surgically corrected foot right after surgery, although your surgeon will determine this and can recommend to allow more recovery time before pushing off on the foot. https://www.tenotac.com/patient-education/what-is-claw-toe monthly 0.5 2022-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/9ffe7289-c684-479b-a4c0-9f09175a1918/claw+toe+1.jpg Patient Education - What is Claw Toe? - When you see developing symptoms of claw toe, you should contact a foot and ankle primary care physician to have your feet examined. A medical professional can conduct tests that rule out neurological disorders which could create imbalances that cause your toes to bend, or to weaken muscles in your feet. https://www.tenotac.com/patient-education/explaining-tendon-transfer-procedure monthly 0.5 2022-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/a2b16ae3-6b49-46db-9cf9-7f909eefff20/TenoTac_Blog_8_PhotoB.jpg Patient Education - Explaining the Tendon Transfer Procedure Option for Hammertoe. - As the name indicates, the tendon transfer procedure for hammertoe is surgery that re-routes the tendon on the underside of the affected toe to a new route along the top of the toe restoring anatomic position of the toe. https://www.tenotac.com/patient-education/are-hammertoes-hereditary monthly 0.5 2022-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/7a98952f-61a9-42f7-b087-6d859b1d2026/TenoTac_Blog_4_3.jpg Patient Education - Are Hammertoes Hereditary? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.tenotac.com/patient-education/what-does-mallet-toe-look-like monthly 0.5 2023-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/4c70a3e6-7ed9-4e52-8a38-6689cf25d3fa/TenoTac_Blog_6_2.jpg Patient Education - What Does Mallet Toe Look Like? - How mallet toe forms Mallet toe can be formed in much the same way that hammertoes develop, which is generally some force that causes the toe to be repeatedly forced upward rather than lying flat. Arthritis can be a condition that promotes this upward curling, and so can muscle or bone imbalance. Foot bones that are too short, or muscles in the area which are excessively weak, can lead to the development of mallet toe. If you have sustained injury to one of your smaller toes, that can promote the development of mallet toe. Wearing shoes that have too little room in the toe area can also promote mallet toe, high-heeled shoes should be avoided, especially for prolonged periods. https://www.tenotac.com/patient-education/can-you-reverse-hammertoe monthly 0.5 2022-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/8beb9551-800c-4f3d-9194-c5445e24ba3a/iStock-1280033268_TenoBlog2.jpg Patient Education - Can You Reverse Hammertoe? - Historically, surgical treatment of hammertoe has either involved tendon rebalancing or fusion procedures. Now however, a new option is available that allows for streamlined tensioning of soft tissues through small incisions intended to address the root cause of the deformity. https://www.tenotac.com/patient-education/is-hammertoe-surgery-worth-it monthly 0.5 2022-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/abc7bbde-d542-4924-8e7b-ed2260486634/doctorholdingfoot Patient Education - Is Hammertoe Surgery Worth It? There are several surgical procedures which can correct the deformity. Hammertoe fusion is one option that your surgeon may suggest. This procedure fuses the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) so the toe can be straightened and stabilized. A wire is inserted to hold the two bones together until they fuse naturally. It may take up to six weeks for fusion of the joint to be complete during which time the pin must remain in the toe and across the joint. The amount of time required for healing will vary. https://www.tenotac.com/home daily 1.0 2022-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/1591134667848-O41UDON0RCIAV9B3WLEZ/TenoTac_HorizontalLogo_onDark.png Home https://www.tenotac.com/surgeons daily 0.75 2025-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/51c5d4b0-8813-4791-9fe2-771293f34b1f/TenoTac2.0_White_Logo_RGB.png Surgeons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/2aa041a9-7f15-44c3-998d-a5bb49931a31/tak_rotation.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/6795548d-c317-4c49-94eb-168d014d1dfc/Used+in+conjunction+with+proximal+interphalangeal.png Surgeons Used in conjunction with proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) arthroplasty to stabilize the metatarsophalangeal joint https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/be64c0da-d298-4889-b65c-1bdf35f17c6a/Used+in+conjunction+with+PIPJ.png Surgeons Used in conjunction with PIPJ arthrodesis to stabilize the metatarsophalangeal joint https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/3896a69e-33eb-4ad7-93d4-e83aa4ce8448/ombined+with+plantar+plate+repair.png Surgeons Combined with plantar plate repair to bolster the repair and correct the hammertoe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/85fa19f0-54ac-459e-8737-e7425ea51c85/Replacement+for+Girdlestone-Taylor+procedure.png Surgeons Replacement for Girdlestone-Taylor procedure for flexible hammertoes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/f52f0f2f-76ad-4bbf-8dfd-a3132e5f9e5d/Used+as+a+sole+implant+to+correct.png Surgeons Used as a sole implant to correct flexible claw toe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/295fb27f-19c4-41e4-96e0-8d8a7c5c28ac/Used+as+a+sole+implant+to+correct+flexible+mallet+toe.png Surgeons Used as a sole implant to correct flexible mallet toe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/7d617dc2-9890-4924-86a2-15d281e60c57/2.8+mm+cannulated+drill.png Surgeons Ø2.8 mm Cannulated Drill/Standard Countersink with Handle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/2f551283-1dd4-419e-be8d-308cf920686a/00.9+mm+k+wire.png Surgeons Ø0.9 mm K-wire https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/d451b682-a76a-45fd-a191-f5122db87609/plantar+tack+inserter.png Surgeons Plantar Tack Inserter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/0acb3657-fdbd-49c9-a358-e10f0a23bcb9/dorsal+sleeve+drive.png Surgeons Dorsal Sleeve Driver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/f9e61fe4-fae6-45f6-a794-e2b2ceabc331/dorsal+sleeve+standard+length+guage.png Surgeons Dorsal Sleeve Standard Length Gauge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/b65a88fd-a0cc-4d3e-8e5b-a4206cd59f10/tenotac+tray1.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/96512f84-2748-40ee-a4ae-3b0a42edd0d6/TenoTac2.0_Purple_Logo_RGB.png Surgeons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/292c88ee-04ed-4fb1-8bc6-c14c90c6f3f2/Instagram_TT2.0.png Surgeons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/1609961902465-6ABQVR11LY70DYUD46U1/1.jpg Surgeons TenoTac maintains soft tissue attachments, lowering the chance of hyper-extension of the toe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/1609961902845-21AA6BF0NZG4NVR845QI/2.jpg Surgeons TenoTac is less invasive than traditional tendon transfer procedures and may result in less post-operative swelling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/1609961902522-MW0MWPCV9HWR213FYS1X/3.jpg Surgeons TenoTac requires a shorter dorsal and plantar incision than other procedures and may result in less postoperative scarring https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/1609961902521-X2IP1HJ3LC7RN0Z7IVA5/4.jpg Surgeons TenoTac balances the toe, minimizing the chance of floating toe https://www.tenotac.com/patient-contact daily 0.75 2024-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6931e6712c582734933e2c/1591134667848-O41UDON0RCIAV9B3WLEZ/TenoTac_HorizontalLogo_onDark.png Patient Contact -
