Varies: it depends on the degree to which it was corrected. The involved foot is usually somewhat smaller than the normal foot. Other than that, there may not be any other issues. On the other hand, some patients with residual or recurrent problems can have pain, deformity and/or skin breakdown issues. Don’t hesitate to be seen if you are having problems.
