Good is relative.: I'm not quite sure as to the meaning of "bending in", as it relates to your post-op condition, but if the toe seems to be returning to its original position, it's bad. Six months post correction is too late to be addressed with splinting to correct the impending recurrence. You need to be evaluated, with your specific concerns addressed.

Would have to : See a picture or something to comment. If you are implying he big toe is moving towards the second toe you can wear various toe aligners while you sleep.....
