While some curly toe deformities spontaneously improve in younger children, the deformity is likely to persist in a 6-year-old child. Taping techniques result in no change or only a temporary decrease in deformity. Studies have shown that simple flexor tenotomy is as effective as flexor tendon transfer. Arthrodesis is rarely indicated.
