Those who have had tailor’s bunion surgery who did it a podiatrist do it or a foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon do it?

awesome! Who was your surgeon? I may need it done again because my surgeon only shaved the bone instead of cutting and putting a pin in it. My painful callus areas came back. I try to lead an active lifestyle so I need to take care of it soon! I hear if they don’t need to cut a lot of bone then I could be weight bearing in a boot. I spoke to a surgeon over the phone and he told me that. He would of course have to look at my feet and examine me, but he knows I can’t use crutches because of a couple disc protrusions in my upper back and I also can’t use a knee scooter because it hurts my knee and bother’s my hip. Ugh.. 😩. Did you have to be non weight-bearing and use crutches, etc…?
i am in Spokane Washington and I used Joshua Hunt. He cut the bone but I'm not sure if he shaved any, just pushed it over. I was in a boot for about 4 weeks, I'm out of it now. I see him this Friday so I may learn a bit more. It's still a bit tender and swells some but not bad. I hope it works because I'm active too and before having it done it couldn't wear shoes anymore, just Clark's flip flops. I'll try to update you on Friday.
Haven't had surgery just found out I've got one x which at times can be uncomfortable
