A member asked:
Can you run again after having big toe joint replacement?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: I have many patients that can return to normal activity including running following a great toe joint replacement. The risks long term is that a joint replacement has a limited life so as you age, running may become difficult and the joint replacement may need to be removed or fitted with another implant. Often some patient require a joint fusion later.

Yes: The joint is designed to alleviate pain and restore function.

Caution: I would use caution with how much activity you do. Joint implants are not intended for a tremendous amount of high impact activity. They wear out faster. The newer implants, however, are much better in that respect. Just use be aware of the limitations of the implant.
