Typically, 6-18 weeks. But I no longer do that procedure, because with minimal invasive procedure, the big toe joint can be saved. please look into my office's social media and/or website for testimonials on how my patients has benefited from using this technique. good luck.

1st metatarsophalangeal joint replacement is usually about a 1-2 month recovery, but the post-operative course is dependent on your surgeon. This should be discussed at your pre-operative appointment.

It can take 8 weeks before full weight bearing and 6 months for return to high-impact sports.

Recovery usually occurs in 2-4 weeks depending on progress and if any other procedures are performed. I recommend you discuss with the foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) doing the procedure for specifics in your case
