In this video, Dr. Moore uses the 'Trim-It Pin' as a stabilizing device during a Hammer Toe Surgery.

Unlike the old hammer toe surgeries that used metal pins that exited the tips of the toes and had to be removed in the office 3 weeks later, the influx of new pins that remain inside of the toes have flooded the market. The 'Trim-It Pins' by Arthrex - http://www.arthrex.com/foot-ankle/trimit-pins - are not only ease to insert during the hammer toe correction, permanent corn removal surgery, or toe shortening surgery, but you can bend it to give the toe a slight bend or any position you like.

This is important for cosmetic foot surgery since correcting the hammer toe is one thing, but matching the rest of the toes is critical.
Post operative care is relatively easy with suture removal at 2 weeks and of course no pin removal. Return to shoes is 2-4 weeks (patient preference) and heavy exercise in 4-8 weeks.
