Hammer toe of the 2nd and 3rd toe of the left foot
I would use the preposition "of" as I consider "hammer toe" to be the name of the condition.

Oops, my mistake, of course it is the right foot (dx. = Lat. "dexter")

Note from asker:
Thank you. I prefer to translate Latin where possible! There's just one thing I disagree with - and I've made this mistake several times myself: "l dx" means "right side" - "dx" is definitely "right". |

Sometimes I like to know in a bit more detail what these things mean.
You're right, Gerry, about 'hammer toe'. Now I've found the term 'digitus malleus', which simply means 'hammer toe'.
I would also add that it is not the translator's job to teach medical Latin to the doctors
