Foot Surgery: What To Expect
If you live in New York or New Jersey and need foot surgery, there is no better NYNJ foot surgeon than at this Foot and Ankle practice in Bronx, NY. Our doctor is a leader in minor or complex foot surgery procedures.
Please remember that foot surgery brings you long-lasting foot comfort from a long list of painful foot issues that constantly cause pain and discomfort. Constant pain decreases your quality of life.
No matter what type of foot surgery you have, there will be several weeks of recovery and healing before you can put pressure on your foot. The type of surgery you have depends on how long you will be in surgery and the length of recovery.
Your surgical procedure could be simple or more complicated, as seen in some foot reconstructive procedures. No matter how simple or complex your process is, you should be able to return home that day. However, if your procedure is complicated, you may need a few extra days in the hospital to recover before going home.
You must be patient during the healing process and follow this doctor's directives to limit the amount of stress on the foot while it is healing, take medications as directed, and have help at home until you can bear weight on your foot.
Lastly, expect an increase in your quality of life after foot surgery and the complete healing process.
