[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you all referring to bunion/hammer toe surgery? I'm scheduled to have minimally-invasive surgery w/ Dr. Neufeld next week for hallux rigidus (arthritis in the first toe joint) and a bone spur related to the arthritis. I understood the recovery was really quick but these posts don't sound like that's the case![/quote]. Maybe your surgery is not as extensive as bunion surgery, but the “minimally invasive” aspect can be misleading. Regardless of how they go in (small vs large incisions), it’s still major surgery because they cut the bone and reposition ligaments. What makes any bunion/hammertoe surgery difficult is that you have a small space (the foot) to contain all the swelling you will have, and your foot will feel stretched to no end, plus you will have broken bones to heal.
