Bunion Surgery

I had bunion surgery over a year ago. THe next day after surgery I noticed my big toe sticking up in the air (to this day it is UP) My surgeon told me it was a mis firing tendon and put a pin thru the toe for 6 weeks. Removed the pin toe in air and now my foot has shifted and I’m walking on the bone.
i think from the beginning he did something to the toe and it affected the joing.
Have you ever heard of a miss firing tendon?

    This is not an expected result, as you expect. You will probably require another surgery at this point. You should discuss this with your surgeon or if you are reluctant, then ask for a copy of your records and seek another opinion.
