Recovery time after surgery for hammertoes can vary, depending on the complexity of the procedure and individual response to treatment. Generally, it takes several weeks to months before full recovery is achieved. During this period, you should follow the doctor’s instructions, take medication as prescribed and perform any physical therapy exercises. It is important to give the foot adequate rest and avoid excessive pressure on the toes.
Always consult your doctor for specific guidelines regarding the recovery process and use of assistive devices during the recovery period.
