Hammertoes can be addressed by surgery. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle specialist (Podiatrist) for evaluation and treatment options.
Yes, Hammertoes can be corrected with surgery. Surgery is done in cases when there is pain and deformity that have failed conservative treatment. Hammertoe correction surgery is a same day surgery as in the patient go home the same day. Patients are also allowed to fully weight bear as tolerated to the surgical extremity from day one if only hammertoe correction is being performed.
