The length of time off work generally depends on how physically demanding the patient\u2019s job may be. All costs associated with this operation, and subsequent time off work, are usually covered by both private and public health insurance policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/ortho-center.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/chirurgie03.jpg\" alt=\"Orthop\u00e4dische Chirurgie\" class=\"wp-image-19874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ortho-center.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/chirurgie03.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ortho-center.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/chirurgie03-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-background\" style=\"background-color:var(--hellgrau)\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading uppercase has-ueberschrift-color has-text-color\">How it works?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortening of the toes generally occurs after the patient has been placed under a general anaesthetic. Only in rare cases is an epidural used as well as a \u201cfoot block\u201d (foot nerve anaesthesia). The affected toes are shortened by the removal of the proximal phalanx condyle, so that the cause of the deformity \u2013 toes that are too long \u2013 is addressed. Claw toe operations only take about 10 to 15 minutes per toe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading uppercase has-ueberschrift-color has-text-color\">After operation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For several weeks after the surgery, patients will need to wear special orthopaedic shoes that support the forefoot. Pain in the forefoot may appear in the first few weeks after surgery. Up until a patient is able to fully load their foot again, which is usually three weeks after surgery, pain medication and anti-clotting drugs are prescribed. After the wounds have healed (approx. 2 weeks after the operation), patients begin physiotherapy and will also need to undergo lymphatic drainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-top rounded arzt-karte karte-right has-hellgrau-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full m-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ortho-center.eu\/en\/dr-med-daniel-berthold\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/ortho-center.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/OrthoCenter-Team-Dr.-Daniel-Berthold.png\" alt=\"Dr. Daniel Berthold smiles at the camera, wearing a white lab coat with the name &#x2018;Priv.-Doz.
