I wanted to wait a year between feet because of work, and the fact that I needed to drive.
My right foot hammer toe surgery was done on January 20, 2015. Similarly to my left foot I needed my hammer toes corrected from toes two through five. All first joints needed to be fused together, with the top tendons lengthened, and a shaving of the bone by the ball of my foot.
The third toe needed a double fusing of both joints in the toe.
This surgery was also done in about 90 minutes, and my toes are pinned straight with about 4 inch long K wires for the next 6 weeks.
Here's some pics!
Oh wow! I didn't realize how extensive the surgery was from just the cover photo for your post on Facebook. Crazy!! Hoping and praying for as pain free and speedy a recovery as possible :)
