- Surgery
Symptoms
Pain, swelling, redness, warmth, weakness, and/or an inability to walk or perform your normal day-to-day activities
Benefits of Webbed Toe Separation Surgery
It’s true that webbed toes do not necessarily affect someone’s ability to walk or other activities. However, while there may be no physical harm, someone’s mental state may be affected by how they are viewed by others, causing them to feel embarrassed or have lower self-esteem.
This is why the biggest benefit of this type of surgery is to allow someone to feel like they look “normal”, and is the main reason someone chooses to have separation surgery. In the rare cases that there is an impaired function in the feet, then webbed toe surgery can provide the best treatment for restoring full function, allowing the toes to be able to move independently.
