toe surgery

Foot procedure focus

Toe surgery is any surgical procedure performed on the toes, ranging from minor corrections like bunion removal or hammertoe repair to more complex operations involving joint fusion or amputation.

The term is general rather than medical—doctors specify the particular procedure: She's having toe surgery next week to fix the joint.
