In my hands you can walk
There are several “bunion procedures,” from simple bunionectomy to 1st metatarsal osteo Tony & correction of the Hallux valgus which often is present with bunions. The simple surgery will keep you non weight bearing 2-4 wks, the more complex surgery will require 6+ wks non weight bearing.
