Had mine done on Dec. 14, 2012. Titanium partial implant. I'm not sure how she attached the implant; will ask her at next appt. She did show me me the X-rays, before and after and I didn't see any screws or pins. My wife is an ex-orthopedic nurse and said that the surgeon probably glued the implant.
Anyway first two weeks of doing nothing but sitting or in bed with foot elevated and lots of ice packs. Slight setback in that during surgery she had to remove some gout crystals and that caused some sort of reaction that put me on an antibiotic and Prednisone. Overall, about a month of not doing very damm much; no getting on and off tractors, for sure!
HOWEVER--today, Jan.29, 2013 I was finally able to get into my regular shoes and walk in them without any discomfort. Good riddance to the surgical shoe even though it certainly served its purpose.
Added bonus-the surgery changed my gait and posture and I haven't had a lick of knee pain since the surgery.
Next appt. is 3/14 and she expects to release me then.

In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
