All in the details.: Repairing a big toe joint can be accomplished in a variety of ways. It can involve merely removing some extra bone growth around the edges, to changing the position and direction of the joint cartilage. Recovery times can range from a month to many months, providing all goes well. Perhaps the best answer can and should be given to you by the surgeon who is going to do the repair.

All depends on : Which procedure is chosen to do and how the surgery goes. You can't be too Ansy as there will be a protocol to follow and this should be discussed with your surgeon.
