Today's episode comes from a runner who asked me a very interesting question during a surgical second opinion webcam call.

She seemed to be really confused because the doctor had recommended performing hammertoe surgery in the doctor's office, and not an operating room. 

She thought that was weird. She was also confused because the surgery would be performed using only a needle and not a scalpel.

Can a doctor really do a hammer toe surgery using nothing but a needle? 

Well, that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
