Depends what : Procedure. Usually, you are given local anesthesia. If in hospital likely you get sedated as well. The procedures on toes are usually under an hour. Stitches and possible fixation. Like a pin or internal screw, again depending on the proble. A surgical shoe is worn for couple of weeks afterwards.

It is simple: It is a very simple procedure. If it is for hammertoe correction, it is relatively quick surgery may 15-20 minutes. You will be able to walk after the surgery but this may lead to a lot of swelling and healing could take longer. It will take about a month to return back to normal shoes.
