What Causes Misalignment And Inability To Move Toe After Surgery For Shortening?
Hi. I have recently had toe shortening surgery on my second toe on both my right and left feet. I have had wire put in place to keep my toe straight as I suffered from hammer toe. The wires have come out yesterday and then swelling in my feet have decreased. I have noticed at my toes are floppy like and not touching the ground or not in alignment with my other toes and I seem to have little ability to move them. I m quite worried. Can you please advice. Thank you.
