A member asked:

How does someone walk/ stand a lot after big toe fusion ? my job requires this and i am concerned that i won't be able to do it.

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

A toe fusion : Would not cause an issue with long term standing...One would stand like anyone else without a toe fusion. It should not be an issue.
