Summary     Deformacije prstov na nogi so zelo pogoste spremembe. Najbolj pogosta sprememba je hammer toe ali prst v obliki kladiva. Omenjena sprememba povzroča pojav hiperkeratoz ali razjed na mestih pritiska na čevelj. Te spremembe se pogosto opažajo pri sladkornih bolnikih z izraženo diabetično nevropatijo. Pri teh bolnikih pogosto prihaja do razvoja vnetja, ki lahko zajame kost, kar se pogosto konča z amputacijo prsta. V prispevku je prikazan primer operativnega zdravljenja spremembe hammer toe s transpozicijo dolgega fleksorja in artroplastiko interfalangealnega sklepa. V zaključku omenjamo pomen izobraževanja skupin z dejavniki tveganja ter zgodnje diagnostike in zdravljenja sprememb na stopalu pri bolnikih s sladkorno boleznijo.
