I had similar in January and still cannot wear any footwear apart from SOFT flats or clogs/ mules. I order these from Amazon. I am feeling quite down about this because I cannot dress up for evening occasions with ugly footwear. The joint is still quite sore. I am a secondary teacher so still get a lot of swelling at the end of the day.
I have tried on so many brands of shoes but with no luck yet.
I was warned by friends that it will take over a year to get back to normal.
lets hope it is so.

Hi Richard,
I'm having major great toe issues and I'm considering a Primus implant, which is a silicon device. How is yours doing now?
It seems like most folks get toe fusion so I'm a little nervous and looking at all of my options.
Thanks!

I'm thinking abut have a primus toe joint put. My question is.
Why all the doctor's don't offer this.
I work in construction, can it take the work load. I'm on my feet alot

Hello Richard - thanks for your post. I am scheduled to have the same Futura Classic toe implant inserted next month and wanted to see how yours is holding up. Never a good time to do this, but I think the time has come for my "upgrade".

Did you get the roto glide implant? If so can you share your experience? I have a failed Cartiva implant and leaning toward joint replacement rather than fusion.
