Hi, it was a basic hammertoe surgery- I believe the medical name included “resection” and “fusion”. My big toe was not touched. The 3 inner toes had the resection and little straitening wires that stayed in place before being removed after 3 months. The little toe did not get a wire but was straightened in the process. I think sometimes I prepare for the worst which makes me so happy and relieved when it turns out that it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be! Good luck if you do it - I haven’t had a stroke so I’m not sure how that adds ti the equation.
