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

My Podiatrist did mine one November 5th this year. So far it's doing great.

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.
