I am getting lisfranc surgery tomorrow. I have a fractured 2nd and 4th metatarasal as well as dislocation of the lisfranc.
I am getting ORIF tomorrow. I asked my doctor when he is going to remove the hardware so I can plan to have someone watch my kids and such and he said he is not going to remove the hardware. I have done a lot of research and I always found stories about getting the hardware removed and then being weight baring because they may break.
Is it normal NOT to get the hardware removed? I am trying to make an educated opinion before I push to get them removed once I am all healed.
