2nd metatarsal : You should discuss this with your surgeon. A lot depends on the procedural approach to your problem and your results. Recovery and recuperation can be a slow process following foot surgery ! its important to follow up and monitor the healing of the bone.

It depends...: On if the surgery was a total metatarsal head resection, partial head resection, head remodeling, joint replacement, etc.
