This involves lengthening the toe by cutting the metatarsal and lengthening the gap cut.
A small piece of bone is taken from your heel and is fitted into the gap created.
The new toe length is held in its new position with a small titanium plate and screws to stabilise the toe in its new corrected lengthened position.
It takes at least 6 weeks for the bone to heal, and a little longer with a graft. Recovery is usually complete within 12 weeks
