A member asked:

Have to have a fusion of the great toe with a hip bone graft. how painful will both of these procedures be? how will my hip feel after?

Dr. Rick Pospisil answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Toe fusion: Both areas will be equally unco for first 7-10 days. Iliac crest ( so called hip ) pain lessens by second week. Great toe pain lasts for 6-8 weeks as it is subjected to weight even with crutches .
