Brief Answer:
Can be straightened with a splint.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

A curly toe can be straightened by splinting it with the middle toe with a tape. In case there is any contracture of skin or tendon that is causing it to bend then a surgery might be needed to release the contracture.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal
