Post Operative Foot Care

Understanding nerve-related foot conditions and how specialized footwear helps

Common Foot & Ankle Surgeries

Bunion Surgery – Realignment of the big toe joint to correct a painful bony bump.

Ulcer Debridement – Removal of unhealthy tissue from a diabetic foot wound.
Toe or Partial Foot Amputation – Removal of part of the foot due to severe infection or poor circulation.

Protecting the Surgical Site

Footwear shields the wound and stitches from pressure, friction, and accidental knocks.

Managing Swelling

Feet often swell after surgery, so adjustable footwear that adapts to changing size is important.

Offloading Pressure

Special soles shift weight away from the healing area to support recovery.

Preventing Falls

Stable, non-slip soles help you stay balanced while your mobility is limited.

Key Symptoms — When to Seek Help?

Pain that keeps increasing or is not relieved by prescribed medication.
Redness, warmth, or spreading swelling around the surgical site.
Pus, foul-smelling discharge, or bleeding through the dressing.
Fever or chills.
A wound that opens, or stitches that come apart.
Toes that turn blue, pale, cold, or numb.
Calf pain, swelling, or tenderness, which can signal a blood clot.
A bandage or cast that feels too tight.

⚠️ Warning: Always follow your surgeon’s instructions on weight-bearing and footwear. Contact your doctor promptly if you notice any signs of infection or poor circulation.
