Ask your surgeon.: This is the very type question that I'm sure your surgeon discussed with you before you consented to have the operation. The surgeon is in the best position to answer it since he(she) knows exactly what had to be performed to reposition the toe. If I had to guess, I'd say you're into this for at least 6-8 weeks. Total recovery could take 6 months.
