IRREGULAR, DISPROPORTIONATE TOE LENGTH CAN BE CORRECTED
Technology for lengthening toes is a highly specialized branch of podiatric surgery. For anyone wanting their feet to look good in sandals or at the beach or pool in summer, Tayton has a number of very specific advantages. Our surgical techniques utilize natural bone for fixation, can incorporate advanced biologics to speed healing and use sub-cutaneous sutures to minimize scarring.
The Result is the most natural looking result possible and is simply leagues ahead of what most podiatrists would be able to achieve.
CAUSES AND CORRECTION
Toe lengths are almost always hereditary. even if you have had a disfiguring accident, the length of your toes can be corrected to give you a balanced, proportional foot. Mishapen and misaligned toes can cause further problems with other toes, as the toes are often forced to fit into shoes that were designed for regular foot contours. The toe lengthening procedure will make help you to find shoes that fit correctly, and give you better balance. The procedure's technical name is an osteotomy of the metatarsals, specifically the proxim ales.

CASE TESTIMONIAL
A complete cosmetic foot surgery makeover in essence is specific to each patient. In this case, the toes have been lengthened to correct the toes that were disproportionately shorter.
PROCEDURE AND RECOVERY
The procedure is performed in an out-patient surgical facility under anesthetic. The recovery is shorter than in the past, and health insurance often can cover this surgery, as there are issues to stability and balance, pain and discomfort in shoes and running walking.
Pain relief medications are prescribed by your doctor. They will give you detailed instructions on the prescription.
You should be able to walk out on a specialized boot, be ambulatory with minor inconvenience and minor pain and be walking normally in shoes in a matter of weeks.
Specialized Technology:
Tayton uses the latest technologies. The bone needs to be extended and in order to secure it in a new position, many surgeons would use metal plates and screws. By contrast our procedure utilizes natural cortical bone pins, that are completely absorbed by the body, and will never need to be removed.
Also, our surgeons will complete the procedure with a difficult closure where the sutures are underneath the skin - subcutaneous stitches will minimize scarring.

What are the safest options for pain relief ?
As podiatrists and foot surgeons, we are committed to helping patients understand the surgery process. The type of anesthesia that we use for extremity foot surgery is very light. Patients are out and not conscious, which is what most people want to know. You are not going to wake up during the procedure.
Anesthetic is very light and very safe. The procedures are always around an hour to two hours max so there’s not as much time under sedation and henceforth, less complications and less difficulties waking up and feeling groggy or hungover.
