Frequently Asked Questions

How long is recovery for toe fusion?

Like many post-operative recovery processes, the recovery period after this type of operation may vary for each patient. However, full recovery will be achieved in about 4-6 weeks after the operated toe is fused.

Can you walk properly after toe fusion?

Generally, patients can walk after fusion surgery without weighing the toe they have operated on. However, in unusual cases such as the patient’s bones being thinner or weaker than they should be, it may be asked not to put any weight on the toe for a certain period of time after the operation.

How long does a toe fusion operation take?

Depending on the complexity of the surgery, it generally takes between 45-60 minutes.
