9 Common Questions About Foot Surgery
Of the many patients we see on a daily basis, often their
foot and ankle problems can be helped with conservative,
non-surgical care. But there are times when surgery is
necessary to relieve pain, remove a deformity or repair an
injury.

There are many questions that come with foot and ankle
surgery and here we address the 9 most frequently asked.

1. Should I have surgery? Surgery is considered when you
have foot pain that is not improved with conservative
therapy or your foot and ankle deformity is severe enough
that it limits your ability to wear shoes comfortably and
perform daily activities without pain.

2. How long does surgery take? On average, most foot and
ankle surgery takes an hour to perform. Complex trauma or
reconstructive surgery for severe deformities may take 3-4
hours.

3. Will it hurt? Pain is eliminated during your procedure
with local anesthesia and in most cases mild sedation.
There is post operative pain with all procedures, so you
should expect some discomfort. This is lessened with
techniques such as icing, elevating the foot and resting.
Pain medications may also be prescribed to alleviate pain
as well. Most people only require pain medication for a few
days, then can transition to over-the-counter medications
like Advil or Tylenol for their discomfort.

4. Am I awake for surgery? We work with anesthesiologist to
ensure you are comfortable and feel no pain during your
surgery. Some patients prefer only mild sedation to feel
relaxed. Think "twilight sleep". Other patients and some
procedures require complete relaxation for which general
anesthesia is required. For all patients, we use local
anesthesia given by injection to block your pain once you
are sleeping comfortably.

5. Where is my surgery performed? Your surgery will usually
be performed at a surgery center or outpatient hospital
setting. Most foot and ankle surgery is considered
outpatient, which means you go home the same day surgery is
performed. Some patients or procedures require more
monitoring immediately post op and may stay over night in
the hospital to ensure their pain is well controlled.

6. What is the recovery time? Will I need to take off work
and can I drive? Recovery times vary depending on the type
of surgery performed. This will be discussed during your
preoperative evaluation with your surgeon. In most cases,
you will need 1-2 weeks off of work. If you are having
surgery on your right foot, you cannot drive until you
return to regular shoe gear and are comfortable pressing
the pedals. If you drive a standard vehicle, the same holds
true for right or left foot surgery.

7. Does my insurance cover surgery? Each insurance plan is
different, but often surgery is covered at a percentage
once a deductible is met. Your deductible amount and
coverage should be discussed with your insurance company
prior to surgery. At our office, we call your insurance
company to verify this information, but this is always
given as only an estimate of coverage. Contacting your
insurance company directly can be helpful to learn about
your individual coverage.

8. How many stitches will I have? This question always puts
a smile on our face because somehow the more stitches you
have the more complex the surgery may have been. We all
know this is not true and when possible, we use a suture
technique that places one long "stitch" under the skin
leaving a more attractive, cosmetic scar. Most of the time,
this suture is absorbable and never needs removing,
reducing your post op pain and anxiety about suture removal.

9. Will surgery fix my problem? Although, there are no
guarantees, surgery is often performed to reduce a
deformity and relieve pain. Post operative complications
can occur, especially if directions are not followed or an
unexpected event happens, but these will be discussed by
your surgeon prior to your surgery.

Foot surgery is quite successful when done by a
board-certified foot and ankle surgeon and when the patient
follows the post-operative instructions. Hopefully these
answers to common questions will put your mind at ease!
