Damaged toenails can be treated a few different ways. One option is to trim the nails down very short and then use a clear nail polish to coat the nails in order to protect them. If the nails are severely damaged, they may need to be removed and replaced with artificial nails. Another option is to correct the deformity using surgery. The surgery will involve straightening the toe, and may also involve removing some of the bone in order to achieve a straight appearance. Hammer toes can often be corrected without surgery by using special devices or braces that can be worn on the feet. These devices work by pushing the toes into their correct position. In some cases, night splints may also be used.
