Hammertoe repair, when can i drive after the procedure?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Surgeons choice: Every doctor has different protocol after surgery. Ask your surgeon. I typically let patients drive 3 days after surgery-short distances with automatic transmission.

It depends: Depends on the type of procedure and which foot it was performed on. Discuss it with your surgeon. They will be able to tell you when you are ready.
