A 'pegged' toe, often referred to in medical terms as a "claw toe" or "hammer toe," is a condition where one or more of the toes are bent at the middle joint, resembling a peg or claw. This deformity can occur due to muscle imbalances, improper footwear, or genetic factors. It may cause discomfort, pain, and difficulty in walking if left untreated. Treatment options include orthotic devices, exercises, or surgery in severe cases.
