What To Expect When You Come In For Surgery
When you come in for minimally invasive foot surgery, experts will be there to help you along every step of the way. All efforts possible are made to guarantee the patient’s comfort and ease throughout the process, along with the placement of an IV and administration of relaxing medication. Once comfortable, patients receive a nerve block to inhibit feeling in the foot, after which the trained surgeon will execute the procedure.
What To Expect From The Recovery Phase?
The greatest thing about minimally invasive surgery is that it’s relatively low impact. Following the process, a specialized orthopedic shoe will be placed on your foot. When you are ready to go home, your designated companion will come and get you. The foot may be weighed upon, but the swelling may be exacerbated if it is placed on the ground; keeping it as high as possible above your heart is ideal. The bandage and orthopedic shoe should stay on until you visit the doctor once again. Crutches, walkers, or wheelchairs can be used, but MOST patients will not need them.
It is highly recommended for people with foot injuries to opt for this form of surgery should they ever need a surgical intervention. Not only do you stand to recover faster and more comfortably, but surgeons are able to better assess the problem and determine an accurate prognosis that will give you every chance of avoiding future complications.
You can further bolster your chances of reducing post-operation success by choosing to work with the right care provider. A professional who is well-versed in this field and understands the nature of such procedures will be able to provide you with a better experience and outcome to expect from your treatment plan.
