claw toe
Curled foot digit
Claw toe is a foot deformity where a toe bends upward at the joint nearest the foot and downward at the middle and end joints, curling under like a claw.
It typically affects the four smaller toes and can result from nerve damage, muscle imbalance, or ill-fitting shoes.
Unlike hammer toe, which bends only at the middle joint, claw toe involves multiple joints.
