Well, I had always tried to wear sensible shoes, but my fourth toes were unusually long, and so they tended to get cramped. I had hammertoes start to develop: a bone spur started growing on top of the first joint, and the skin started ulcerating on top. It got to the point that wearing any shoes got to be just excruciating. And I couldn't get them to heal. I had the surgery, and I'm very glad I did, because it solved the problem. My toes are normally proportioned now, and they never give me any problems.
