Have you ever wondered how much time it took other Toe HemiCAP Patients to return to their favorite activities after surgery? The chart below was compiled to help answer your questions.
Typical Patient Function & Activity Milestones after Hemiarthroplasty or Total Toe Replacement
Based on their experience, surgeons rated the time it took for patients to achieve certain milestones after surgery such as driving a car, walking in shoes and returning to work, activity or sport. Typically, patients are able to perform the activities of daily life, including returning to work, 2-6 weeks after surgery.
Following Toe HemiCAP® hemiarthroplasty, or ToeMotion® Total Toe replacement, no restrictions on job, sports or activity were recommended. Following these procedures, most patients are expected to return to work within 2 weeks after surgery (66.7%) or within a 15-30 day range (33.3%). The time to return to work was classified as equal or faster than cheilectomy, faster than other implants and faster than fusion. Sports participation was started at a mean of 49.3 days and the satisfaction regarding the return to sport and an active lifestyle was rated as Excellent (66.7%), Very good (33.3%) or Good (16.7%).

I am scheduled to have the aurthosurface Hemi-cap Total toe Surgery in Birmingham, Al in 2 weeks. Any advise from others who have had this Surgery.
I am just following up. I had my Arthosurface Total Toe replacement on Monday in Birmingham Al by Dr. Gregg Carr. The surgery went very well. It was out-patient surgery. i took the pain pills the 1st 24 hours then switched to ibuprofen on day 2. There is very very little swelling. I was told by my doctor to stay off my fool for 2 weeks. ( zero weight bearing) I am using a walker to got move around the house. I have just been elevating the foot and resting and I am now on day 5 post-op. I have not had any pain and I am confident this surgery will be a positive experience. I am excited to get back a range of motion in my toe again. I get the stitchers out in on July 11th.

Hi Nancy, please let us know if you did not receive our email!
I had a bone spur and arthritis removed from my big toe and an implant inserted this past July 2018. I am still having the same pain as before and my doctor recommends fusion of the big toe. I am very active and don’t want to do the fusion. Can you advise where in Pensacola Florida that I can see someone to do a Hemicap surgery?

Hi Kate, please let us know if you did not receive our email!
Are there any surgeons in the Lansing, Michigan area? Also, do you know of any specific surgeons who have removed a fusion and put the hemicap in its place? Thank you!
Hi Helen! Please let us know if you did not receive our email.
I live in Western Kentucky, I am a 5K runner. I’m 5’2 and I wear 5 inch heels every day on my sales job. I do not see fusion as an option because I want motion in my toe. Cartiva looks like it fails very often, you can only wear 1 to 2 inch heels, and most people can walk but not run races. This is unacceptable to me!!!! Who in Western Kentucky (Paducah) Area does this surgery??? Will I return to a normal life afterward? I’m so depressed about this. I fell and broke my foot, this is how all this started. Thanks.
Hi Bobbi, we just sent you an email!
Hi, is this procedure done in NYS?
Hi April, please let us know if you did not receive our email!
As a result of bunion surgery my toe joint is now bone on bone and I have little mobility and a lot of pain. I am considering joint replacement and would like to know more about this. After one failed surgery I am not anxious to have another. I would like more information about the procedure, the risks including what can go wrong, and statistics on success rates. This at least gives me hope.
Is this surgery approved in Thailand at Bumrungrad Int Hospital? I live internationally. Thanks!
Hi Jukie, unfortunately at this time our products are not available in Thailand.
Had HemiCAP surgery on July 2nd still some swelling and if I hit it wrong it hurts also get odd shooting throbs of pain that comes and goes but isn’t steady. I started riding a bike at 5 weeks at 6 weeks started doing 8 miles a day on elliptical machine with 10 mile bike rides after. I have signed up for a 10 mile trail run in 4 weeks and a half marathon trail run the week after. I am supposed to start rehab after Sept 3 doctor appointment. If its not killing me when can I start running my doctor said possibly after 8 weeks which is the 26th of August. But am I passed the point when I could damage the procedure. I am 64 and look at life and time as getting away from me and don’t want to waste any of it.
