This patient was not only concerned with the look and pain associated wither her long second and third toes in tight shoes, but she also wanted to straighten the fourth and fifth with a similar procedure. The older techniques with metallic pins are still warranted for some patients (https://youtu.be/rD4FxaUauYM) but we have found that most do not want metallic pins and also having the toe "too straight". For this patient we used the "Trim-it" pin from Arthrex that not only keeps the toe straight, but has the ability to flex the toe to a desired angle.

Watch this non-surgical demonstration of "Trim-It" Pins by Dr Moore shows the simplicity and easy use of the product:
