i had bunion surgery on both feet in 1982 and the right foot is as painful now as it was before surgery. My surgeon now wants to fuse my toe joint leaving me pain free but causing restrictions as to shoes i will be able to wear (e.g. no heel higher than 1 inch )and the difficulties of living/walking with a permanently stiff toe joint.
I have lost the article but I did read of an operation involving a ceramic toe joint for arthritic toes that sounds less disabling afterwards. I will see if that is more suitable for me. |
