[crackring209]

[St1ckm3npwn]

What was that yellow stuff coming out with the nail? Was it sponge or some sort of medicine?

[TheIpoodrock]

You can't fell it getting pulled out because the bone has no nerves

[emeliUK]

Geez! mine was in for 6 weeks...

[agrev4God]

I just had this surgery done on both feet. Came through it amazingly well. Could walk on my heals and will have the pins removed in 2 weeks. My podiatrist is awesome!! Off of pain meds in 2 days! Just keep your feet elevated most of the day until cleared!!!

[TikiShootah]

all in the name of vanity :P

[crackring209]

@TikiShootah hammertoes can be very painful too...

[randompplzdoinrandom]

[MrAMERICANxMUSCLE]

[xxxxmanuftwxxxx]

how the fuck u got that thing inside ur fucking toe?

[MegaAgustinita]

WTF!! how did you live with these thing in ur toe?

[camilo135]

Can you tell me the music of this video?

Hehehe... I think the music is great, but the images do not match the melody. A terror song will have been better.

Anyway, can you tell me the name of the song?

[jbbrake]

This is Two Part Invention No.14 by J.S. Bach, the famous baroque period composer. The performance is by Walter Carlos, on his album, "Switched on Bach", circa 1968. This was the first big recording of "classical" music using a Moog Synthesizer. I have the vinyl record.

[brianskatescool]

i had both my wrist done...

i have 2 screws and 2 pins

[phenomenalwoman317]

I had two toes on both feet done at the some time, and it was tough for the first week but i was fine after that. didn't want to take another 6wks off from work. the wires come out on wednesday!!

[SpiffySkills]

i tyoed hammertoe thinking it was a band -_-

[Xreaperenigma]

whats that stuff near/on the pin and on the exit wound?

[EVILGOKUGUANACO]

Looks like some kind of lubricant.

[jablestwo]

decayed (dead) blood and skin after i was runoverd by a car i had a fractured wrist wen they pulled out my pins i asked them what it was and thats what they told me

[arinDC]

Would you recommend doing both feet or one foot at a time?

[mcnabj]

hell no. you will be hating life if you do both feet at the same time. You won't be able to walk.

[EllysaE]

What's wit hthe pokemon music? The music took me back to '98 ...

[lilrufus12]

[lilrufus12]

[Cooldude8941]

[carla0485]

how much does it cost to have corns removed from toes surgcially?

[3PointProducts]

I can't believe you were able to hold the camera still while he was doing that. I wouldn't have been able to watch, let alone keep my hands steady. Ouch!

[TheSisterShow1]

[fittiemcvittie83]

o.m.goodness. i have to go have this done nxt yr and im crappin it..lol. now ive watche dthis im more afraid of havin it taken out than anything else..lol. looks gross xxx

[babywu48]

I just had the pin taken out yesterday and he just yanked it right out ,I didn't mind as it was over fast ,didn't it hurt when he kept prying at it?

[sunnyallthetime]

Yes, it hurt very very much because it was only in for two weeks instead of four. How long was your pin in for?

[babywu48]

it was in for a month but I still think he yanked at it too much for you, hope you are fine now?

[SweetAshou123]

@babywu48 How much was it?

[jennifer23ish]

@SweetAshou123 it didn't cost anything as i have Canadian health insurance ,my foot is so much better now and shoes feet really well in case you are planning on having the same surgery ,

[SweetAshou123]

@jennifer23ish I am also a canadian citizen o ur saying health car insurace covers this surgery!!!

[angelsinyourface]

@babywu48 I had hammer toe on the three middel toes of my left foot. When I had my pins taken up the Dr just yanked then stright out. It did not hurt but at the same time it did not feel good. Just as well they came staight out.

[jennifer23ish]

@angelsinyourface yes , better to take the pin out right AWAY because I think yanking on it would hurt a lot more :)

[miltonrd3]

how the hell did that yellow thing get in it?

[BioChemMaj13]

An incision is made on the top of the toe being corrected, and the pin (which is not curved at the tip initially) is inserted into the bone and out the tip of the toe. Then the pin is bent and covered with the yellow piece.

[BioChemMaj13]

I've had this procedure done four times and observed it being performed twice. It's really quite interesting.

[Tonster8]

but how did that thing get in?

[BioChemMaj13]

What thing, exactly?

[PlatinumCharisma]

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Glad I changed my major from biology...

[sunnyallthetime]

I use that saying too!

[darthspeaks]

The pin is made of surgical steel now doubt. It was there to make sure the bones healed in line. Yes, the pin goes straight into his bone. Look at the X-Ray.

[DelMinor]

Aren't you going to eat that chewy baked on cheese at the tip of your toe? That's the best...

[monkeyfluffbean]

how does the pin get in your foot? and does it go into the bone?

[sunnyallthetime]

I don't exactly know how the surgeon (Dr. Larsen) put the pin into the toe. If you look closely and pause the video on the x-ray you can see how far the pin goes in. I assume he used some kind of drill to bore the hole for the pin. Maybe there is a video elsewhere on YouTube that actually shows the procedure.

[angelsinyourface]

@sunnyallthetime I asked my doc. I knwo why they don't telly you now. They Drill it in.

[kgroover88]

i had to get 2 in my arm and the doctor said he just gentely hammered it in with a hammer.and yes it goes into your bone to help stabelized and keep the bone in place

[ladyscorpian14]

could u walk on your feet did it hurt alot all of my toes are hammer but the big ones i'm in college the only break i get is summer was it really expensive

[sunnyallthetime]

Sorry, I just hit the wrong button and accidentally deleted the last post in which the person pretty accurately described the surgery as removing a little piece of bone in toe so the other bones could be straightened out. That is how I understand it is done.

[sunnyallthetime]

It was a few days before I could really walk. I convinced the doctor to remove the pin about two to three weeks before he usually would (that is why it was so tight and difficult to pull out). I walked into the office the day I shot this video wearing flip flops with the pin still in my toe. I promised him I would wear the post-op shoe if he would pull the pin early. I brought the post-op shoe with me to further convince him to remove the pin that day.

[rockergrl04]

was the hook there to keep it in place or what?

[sunnyallthetime]

I believe the doctor just bent up the end of the straight pin at the end of the toe so it wouldn't stick out too far. Also the bend in the wire allowed him a better purchase when he pulled it out. The yellow plastic thing on the end of the wire is just popped on there to keep the wire from getting snagged on stuff. It would pop off from time to time.

[bellac32]

why?

[TimHofmann]

Excellent!!! Very cool. Thanks for the footage!

[dirt4everbiker]

f@#%in dirt

[minhngu]

that must've sucked like shit

[R34lH0pe]

I better stop picking my toes i dont want that!

[missflic]

I had similar surgery to this because of dodgy toes. I had 6 toes operated on 2 weeks ago .. beggar to walk !!!!

[irwinsalvador2000]

auch

[katoac58]

uuuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyyyy

[jweno]

it said thanks to Dr. Larsen at the end. Is that Dr. Larsen from London, Ontario?

[scorchedcandy]

Oh man I need this same surgery! Now I'm scared!

[halochamp01]

i had this done 1 week ago and it dosnt hurt you can walk on it the day of the surgery i mean later after surgery and i played paintball yesterday and had no problem

[waddafxupwidat]

whats that orange stuff?

[aheller]

Betadine

[yourlyin]

i had this dun 2day....the pins were taken from my 3 middle toes on my left foot....for me the pain was excrutiating but my doctor wasnt gentle....he yanked them out with pliers!

[Howmanone]

Had my right foot done 3 years ago.. bunion removed and hammer toe fused and externally pinned. No problem or drama!!

Left foot presently in same situation with the fixing pin coming out tomorrow after almost four weeks in situ. All in all, the quality of my life has been vastly improved having my bunions removed and toes corrected. So if you are out there and worried ... no need!!

[devolvedamned]

In this case the pin was removed early at only two weeks post-op, so it would still be tight in the bones and quite painful. Usually the pin is left in for at least four weeks, and according to the Doc it practically "falls out." Any one with first hand knowledge please comment.

[emboy12]

what the hell!!!!

[yourlyin]

im havin dis dun in 5 weeks...duz it hurt at all?...the dr wouldnt tell me wat its goin 2 be like coz he sed im quite young for details (im 15)

[parristhesocialite]

this looks so painful

[DiZzY187]

omg this video makes me not want to get the surgery! lol they dont numb ur toe or anything when they take out the pin?

[cheekyscotslass]

I've had this operation twice and due for another op just waiting on a date..the last 2 ops avent been sucessful so im either getting 8 pins or 6 pins n 2 amputations this time..and they r pointing my toes upwards OUCH lol deffo not looking 4ward to it

[aadailey]

I'm going through this right now... it sucks.

but if I can walk normal afterwards, then it will be worth it.

I'm on my second week.

[DangerousPirate]

Hey man what does it smell like afterwards?

[wiggledance]

I had surgery for this on all on my toes 6 weeks ago and they're pulling the pins out tomorrow haha. I'm so scared now :(

[ThiaLam]

OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!!!! Did that hurt?! Because I was thinking about doing surgery for my feet...but I don't know now.

[AKNIGHTMARE]
