Your risk of developing a hammertoe also goes up if you have inherited toe deformities. In some cases though, your chances of developing a hammertoe increase if you have arthritis or toe trauma, including stubbing your toe. Eventually, your toe winds up staying in this position as your muscles and connective tissues can’t flatten out your toe. Each time you slip on your shoes, your toe gets scrunched up and soft connective tissues can’t relax. This issue typically develops over time if any of your smaller toes are longer than your big toe. Usually, hammertoes occur because of an imbalance in your toe muscles and connective tissues. 25 (9):609-13.A hammertoe is a deformity that affects your toe joint in a way that you develop a permanent, abnormal bend in the middle of your toe.
