I had a total ankle reconstuction Sept. '06, involving an allografted tendon, osteotomies, and 4 scews in my heal to staighten it out.
Last week I had surgery to remove the screws that were put in 9 months ago. I have an enormous soft cast on my foot and ankle (up to the knee) and have to keep this on for two weeks with the foot elevated most of the time. I also had, at the same time as the screw removal, a torn tendon repair (big toe) and several bone spurs removed.
Just wondering is anyone has had such a big dressing put on after hardware removal. My foot is feeling the best it has in months and now I am all wrapped up again, which is fine if necessary. Just trying to get some input....... |
