Question
toe
toe  
Hi there wanting to ask a question my second toe overlaps my third and waiting to see a podiatrist but was wondering what to expect at my appointment

Answer
Hi Hazel

It depends on the doctor.  If you were in my office, I would do a simple minimally-invasive office procedure which requires no stitch.  I would release the soft tissues on the bottom of the 3rd toe and it would be even with the second toe.  

Some doctors may suggest bone surgery and pins.
