I have had a second toe, sequential repair. In essence my second toe was unstable and crossing over my third toe causing pain, discomfort and trouble getting shoes to fit property. Unfortunately I have inherited my parents feet and have really bad bunions which are not painful. This has only contributed to an imbalance of weight distribution on my left foot which has caused my second toe to bear more weight than it should and such drift to the left. The surgery was to straighten my toe and get it to lie flat and also let it act again as a support to my big toe which is already deformed because of my bunion. So by doing some tendon work and taking a small piece of bone out of my second toe and pinning it in place it will be as good as new.
