How Can I Prepare for Podiatric Surgery?

Before and after a podiatric surgery, it is essential to follow your surgeon’s orders to the letter. Since the types of podiatric surgeries vary, your pre and post-operative care plan will depend on the specific type of surgery you receive. 

However, there are a number of ways you can ensure a successful surgery regardless of the procedure:

  • Maintain your fitness levels where possible and practical
  • Avoid smoking, especially 2 weeks prior to surgery
  • Make sure you’re prepared to rent/purchase assistive devices if necessary
  • If you’ll need crutches or a walker post-surgery, practice using them at home
