K wire surgery
Hi,
I had broken a pinky toe 6 weeks back. The bone somehow fused back but it was just half fused which resulted in awkward walking position. It was a malunion. Now 2days back I had surgery for the same and a K wire was inserted in the toe. The pain was unbearable for one day. Somehow I don't feel the pain now but at times when I move my feet to left or right. I feel little pain.
The doctor suggested one week rest and said to continue walking after that. What is the usual period to heal for a broken fracture with K wire. Will it really hurt or will I have complications walking with the K wire?
Just need an opinion :)
