-You will be in a posterior splint following surgery. You will be nonweightbearing and will follow up to the office 5-7 days after surgery. Keep the postoperative dressing dry. Elevate and ice the leg for comfort. Your dressing will be changed and you will then be transitioned into a walking boot.
-This begins a gradual increase to full weight bearing in a walking boot as pain and swelling allows. The boot is taken on and off to shower and sleep. Range of motion is encouraged when the boot is removed when you are non-weightbearing. You will be given a compression stocking to help alleviate swelling.
-You will then be prescribed 4-6 weeks of physical therapy if necessary, which will increase your strength, motion and flexibility.
