More details to this question:
I had a bunion surgery on Nov. 12, 2021with screws put in. 3 days later I had an emergency surgery as screws were coming out & Wires put in. 2 weeks later wires had to be removed as they were coming out. It has been vlose to 4 months & I am not healed. My podiatrist says wear boot and keep using bone stimulator. Does not want to do another surgery. Says it will take time to heal. I went to an orthopedic surgeon. My recent CT scan shows a gap in the bone of 8 mm. He says surgery needed as bones will never heal with that large a gap. Surgery will require bone graphs. Currently hurts to walk, Constant pain. Foot swells. Big toe sticking up so hard to wear any of my shoes. My balance off due to big toe.

I am sorry to hear about this and hope your condition improves. It sounds like you will need further medical work-up.
That being said, the answer to your question can only be obtained through medical expert review of your medical records to determine whether the standard of care was breached and if that breach directly caused or contributed to causing you serious and permanent injuries.
A Personal Injury/ Medical Malpractice Attorney can assist you in exploring these issues by interviewing you in depth and reviewing your medical records prior to potentially sending them out for review by the appropriate medical experts.
We all give free consultations; however, you will have to reach out, as we are unable to solicit on this forum. Do not delay, as the Statute of Limitation for bringing a Medical Malpractice lawsuit is relatively short given the complexity involved in such cases.
