I don't know what a minimal invasive procedure for hammertoe is but I had a hammertoe procedure done back in April by Dr. Johnny Wu. I had to wear a boot for 4 weeks and couldn't do anything. For the next two weeks, I could do minimal exercise but not put any strain on foot. After that, I could start to exercise but had to work up my normal routine of exercise.

I looked up a video on this procedure and the Dr. claimed the swelling doesn't take a year to go down. BTW - I am not a doctor.

Before this procedure, I had a callous/corn develop between my toes that had to be cut off periodically and had to wear toe bandages to prevent the corn from being redeveloped. All in all, worth doing it so you don't have any pain going forward, especially, if one is into exercise.
