For those of you who’ve had tibial (aka medial) sesamoidectomy, did your medical team advise you to wear toe spacers post-op? If yes, starting when and for how long? On only the operated foot or on both feet? Were you advised to wear the toe spacer when on your feet, non-weight bearing, all the time, all the time except when sleeping, or something else?

I’m five weeks post left tibial sesamoidectomy. My orthopedic surgeon did not recommend wearing a toe spacer, but about half of the post-op recovery instructions I’ve found online from other doctors recommend wearing toe spacer on at least the operated foot at least much of the time. What were you told? Thoughts? Experiences?
