Hi,
this surgery is imperative to you, especially as far as recovering a normal and functional integrity of your foot. Considering the fact it is done a year later, recovery time might be a bit longer. However, rarely exceeds a few months.
Its the best option for you and outcome if well done by an experienced surgeon is usually very good.
Thanks as I hope this helps,
