How Can A Failed Fusion Surgery Be Corrected?
I had a fusion surgery on my second toe 19 days ago. At my check up appt yesterday my dr said the pin was loose and decided it need to come out. I m still in the boot and went home with a scooter not to walk on it. What do you think is my success rate now and why did the pin never tighten up ? YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
It is right now too early to declare that the fusion surgery has failed. It takes at least 6 weeks for a proper recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
