Is this normal after hammer toe correction?
Hi all,
I had hammertoe surgery on my right foot (along with other foot surgeries) 6 weeks ago and this morning I had the K wires removed. I was so excited to finally walk and drive that I went for a drive two hours after having the pins removed. However, while I was driving I felt a spasm in one of the toes. When I got home and removed the bandage I noticed my second toe was no longer straight and looks slightly bent. Almost like it’s slipping back into the hammertoe position. I have pictures for reference. First pic is right after I had the K wires removed and second pic is after removing bandages at home and noticing my toe. I called my doctor immediately and sent him picture, he said he’s “not concerned”?!?! Like wdym “not concerned”? The middle joint is supposed to be fused, this cant be normal. Has anyone else experienced this?
