Factors Influencing Duration

If both feet require surgical correction (bilateral bunionectomy), the individual's period of disability will be lengthened. Complications such as infection may also affect length of disability.

Individuals who perform tasks while seated may be able to return to work within several days. Individuals who must stand, walk, or drive in the course of their work may require several weeks or longer for recovery.
