Care After Surgery
Some swelling, stiffness and limited mobility can be expected following surgery, sometimes for as long as eight to twelve weeks. Keeping the foot elevated above heart level and applying ice packs will help reduce swelling during the first few days after surgery.
Many people can walk immediately afterward, although Dr. Ognibene may restrict any such activity for at least 24 hours. Wearing a splint or surgical shoe for the first two or three weeks after surgery is recommended. The shoe protects the foot and helps properly disperse body weight. Stitches, if present, must be kept dry until removal - generally seven to ten days following surgery.
