Slalom skiing and snow skiing post bunion surgery

Hi, I had lapidus in April of this year and hardware removal on September. I just skied for the last four days with no issue! The hardest thing was getting my foot in the ski boot as the incision site is still somewhat tender on the bridge of my foot. The foot flexes just fine. I also got fitted for new boots this year with nice orthotics which provided great support for my foot. Good luck to you!!

 

I had my first Bunionectomy 2 years ago in April right after the ski season ended. I was able to get back on my board in December for the new season no problem! This year I got my other foot done 6 weeks ago in December. Haven’t gone on the mountain yet obviously. If your foot doesn’t hurt in a boot and your able to walk I don’t think there should be an issue if it’s been at least 3 months. I’m still 6 weeks post op and miss the mountain so much. I would like to be able to go at least once this season but not sure if I should push it or not. Probably best not to for me.

 

In January of '16, Vera commented on her foot surgery. It was the most reassuring post I have found, as I ponder Lapidus surgery in August and if I'll be able to ski in 2021? Any other ideas regarding surgery and snow?
