The answer to this question would be highly variable and would be best answered by the physical therapist who is actually seeing you and guiding your therapy. I would ask your PT. Sounds like you are doing well overall. Good luck.

If you have questions concerning the outcome of the surgery , is the surgeon of record. Scar tissue is most common problem. Also positioning of the osteotomy can make a difference in the function of the big toe joint after surgery. What is important is the amount of degrees are the range of motion . Elevation of the joint via osteotomy can cause limited range of motion
