Bunion surgery: I'm sorry, but i need more detail in order to answer this question. Please tell us what done to your foot. Six weeks in a cast is quite long for todays procedures.

Healing times vary: Each individual has a different healing time. You will be ready to go back to a regular shoe when your foot is ready and the swelling is at a minimal. It also depends on the type of procedure performed as some procedures require extended periods of immobilization.
