Big toe fusion

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hi all, i'm due to have my big toe fused after years of being in pain wIth OA. i considered a cartiva implant but i cant have it as due to past surgeries there isnt enough bone left.

Anyway, just wondering of anyone can tell me their experiences with this?i am hoping to be recovered in 6 weeks? is that realistic? Also, does it feel weird not being able to bend the toe? Any info will be greatly received!
