I finally have an answer….

My daughter who is 14 years old has been living with a deformed toe most of her life. She wasnt born with this, it just stopped growing. It is on her right foot and is the fourth toe. This deformaty is very embarrassing for her as she is entering her teenage years and is very sensitive about it. If there is anyone out there that has had surgery done to a toe like this please contact me. I would love to hear your experience and if was successful.
