A member asked:
What exercises can i do if i had bunion(hallux valgus) surgery?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Range of motion: Try and bend your toe up and down. Surgery usually will initially decrease some range of motion, so you want to make sure to prevent or break up any post op adhesions.

Use a Dynasplint: I fit all my patients with a dynasplint toe unit postoperatively who need increased range of motion. In a published paper we demonstrated that with a dynasplint the range of motion returned quicker and patients were able to use the splint more consistently than home exercises alone.
