Bunion osteotomy can be gradually rehabilitated in 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, but it may take 3 months or more for full recovery.
Bunion osteotomy refers to wedge osteotomy surgery for bunion, which is used to improve the correction of deformity, and generally requires internal fixation of plate screws and fusion of metatarsophalangeal joints. 4~6 weeks after the surgery, the local primitive scabs will be formed and the metatarsophalangeal joints will be relatively stable, so that the patient can gradually undergo rehabilitation, but it may take 3 months or even longer for full recovery.
For patients with bunions, it is recommended to go to orthopedics or orthopedic surgery department of regular hospitals in a timely manner, and have regular postoperative wound dressing and re-examination to understand the healing condition of the bones and joints, and to have further treatment if necessary.
