I had this surgery done in November. How long before you expect your patients to get back to running? How long before they have no pain/inflammation in the tendon? I had stage I TPD.

@jigga7405 I would suggest waiting for 10-12 weeks before beginning running. I would start out walking then ease back into running. Best wishes.

Do you have a video for the first metatarsocuneiform joint fusion?

@wsatterfield3 Yes it is under Lapidus procedure.
Yes, for Stage 2 TPD i usually do a Calcaneal osteotomy, FDL to PT transfer, Lapidus and Gastroc Recession. Hope this helps.

@padeheer If lateral column lengthening is done how much does it takes for your patients to get back running again?

@sandocean17 I would have you wait until complete healing, which is usually 12-16 weeks. Best wishes.

Was this combined with any medial column procedures?
