Hammertoe and mallet toe. Treatment. If your toe is still flexible, your doctor might recommend that you change to roomier, more comfortable footwear and that you wear shoe inserts (orthotics) or pads. Inserts or pads can reposition your toe and relieve pressure and pain. In addition, your doctor might suggest exercises â such as picking up marbles or crumpling a towel with your toes â to stretch and strengthen your toe muscles. If conservative treatments don't help, your doctor might recommend surgery to release the tendon that's preventing your toe from lying flat.
Genes on chromosome 8 are among the estimated 20,000 to 25,000 total genes in the human genome. Chromosome 8 likely contains between 700 and 1,100 genes. Chromosome 9 likely contains between 800 and 1,300 genes. Chromosome 14 likely contains between 800 and 1,300 genes.
