2 weeks crossover toe surgery.lack of toe purchase.today told might get better after kwire removal,but screw is in toe.now have limp.permanent?

Nothing like time.: You need to relax. You are only two weeks into the surgery, and the foot is adjusting to the trauma. You must expect some residual swelling, pain and even some limping. Lack of toe purchase, can be due to several things, and it is too early to be talking about the permanence of anything.
