Hammertoe - Podiatry Treatments and Coding

Page 1

Hammertoe - Podiatry Treatments and Coding Podiatry treatments for hammertoe can be non-invasive or surgical, depending on the severity of the deformity and associated symptoms.

More common in women than men, hammertoe causes the toe to bend upward at its middle joint. The California Podiatric Medical Association defines hammertoe as a contracture—or bending— of the toe at the first joint of the digit, called the proximal interphalangeal joint. The condition can also occur in one or both joints of the second, third, fourth or fifth (little) toes. For podiatrists treating such conditions, medical billing outsourcing is a great option to meet their medical claim submission and reporting tasks.
