Hammertoe Surgery

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi there, I had a hammertoe straightened 5 weeks ago and have noticed over the last couple of weeks that the pin has turned on it's own. It's due to come out in 5 more days. Just curious if anyone else has noticed their pin turning?

Is this normal? I certainly don't want to impede my healing process or have to have another pin put in, if that's even a thing.

Thanks in advance, Robin(Ribena)
