I had surgery Oct 2017 to correct a hammertoe and bunion. Doctor moved bone over where bunion was and removed bone in the hammertoe and replaced with cadaver bone. Now have plate and screws in foot. My bones are not fusing and is painful. It’s been 6months now and have a new foot pain. Including depression from this. Has anyone else suffered from this and was it fixed?  Desperate

    Cadaver bone? Surely bone needs an active blood supply to graft? This is why I didn't get anything done until I couldn't walk or drive. At that point I had nothing to loose!

      I go back to doctor next month. He recommended a bone stimulator because of no fusing of bone across the top of the foot, where he placed plate and screws. I just want to be pain free and be able to walk normal again! Good luck and prayers to you.
