Hi all i'm new here but was hoping somebody may be able to help!!....My mother is going in to have an operation in 1 weeks time...It's called kellers operation...I.E. Anthroplasty...It involves the shortening of her big toe..But also has dissadvantages i.E. A possible lack of mobility...What she really wants to know is whether or not she will benefit in the long run or whether she will be causing herself more grief ...She has said she would rather put up with the pain she has now than lose mobility in the future...Any help would be greatly appreciated...Oh yeah, she is 48!!
