I broke my pinky toe about 6 weeks ago, and while the bone did fuse back a bit, it was only half fused, causing me to walk awkwardly. The doctor said it was a malunion, and I had surgery two days ago to fix it with a K wire in my toe. The pain was really bad the first day but now it only hurts a little if I move my foot left or right. The doctor recommended taking a week off to rest and then start walking again. How long does it usually take for a fracture with a K wire to heal properly? Will walking with the K wire be painful or lead to any complications? I'm just looking for some advice on what to expect.
