In most cases yes unless work is done around the heel. Your surgeon will be the person to determine this. Discuss what your limitations are prior to surgery. Good luck.
Yes, it is usually the case. You must ask your surgeon before doing it.
in my office, my patients walk in a healing shoe or boot, and walks normal gait out of the office on the same day of procedure. please look into my office's social media and website for testimonials.
That is up to your surgeon and what his expectations and instructions are. There are different procedures we perform for bunionectomy surgeries, and it also deon what type of surgery your physician has planned for you. This should be discussed with you by your surgeon prior to the surgery
Weightbearing after surgery on the foot will be determined by procedure and surgeon preference. I recommend you discuss with your foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) to discuss weight bearing status
