@live5today, welcome. I moved your question about fusion vs joint replacement of the big toe to this existing discussion:
- Joint replacement in big toe.: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/joint-replacement-in-big-toe/

I did this so you can read the experiences of and connect with members like @nursejudith @bbrebozo @heyjoe415 and others.

Decision making is hard at the best of times, but especially when you get conflicting recommendations. Have you started a list of pros and cons of each procedure?

Thank you! I spoke with my primary care Dr. She recommended going with the fusion, since it has a better success rate. Scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks. 🤞
