  1. How to Prepare for Ankle Surgery? A Springfield Gardens, NY Edition

  2. In Springfield Gardens, NY, ankle surgeons are available to treat ankle disorders like Achilles’ tendon, fractures, metatarsalgia, bunions, and whatnot. Prior to getting surgery for your ankle, you must follow certain protocols.

  3. Comply with your surgeon's instructions in terms of medications, diet, and exercise before and after your surgery. If you’re taking some medications or supplements, they’ll need to be stopped or adjusted to avoid complications. Your surgeon might advise you to fast or limit your fluid intake before your surgery.

  4. Get your home ready for your recovery by ensuring that you have a comfortable place to sleep, rest, and move around. Rearrange your furniture, get a shower bench or chair, and build up stocks of accessible snacks and drinks.

  5. Ask someone to drive you to and from the hospital. That same person should help you with your daily activities for the first few days or weeks after your surgery. It’s quite obvious that you won’t be driving or putting weight on your ankle for a while. Hence, you’ll need assistance with transportation, shopping, cooking, cleaning, and personal care.

  6. Make a list of questions and concerns to discuss with your surgeon and anesthesiologist before your surgery. Understand the risks, benefits, andexpecta- tions of your surgery, as well as the type of anesthesia and pain management you will receive.

  7. Follow the physiotherapy pro- gram provided by your surgeon or physiotherapist. This program will strengthen your ankle and improve your range of motion before and after your surgery. Performing recommended exercises will help you recover faster and prevent stiffness, swelling, and blood clots.

  8. In most cases, your surgeon will suggest you quit smoking and avoid alcohol and nicotine products before and after your surgery. Smoking and drinking can impair your healing process and increase the risk of infection and bleeding.

  9. From these protocols, you can now understand the importance of ankle surgeons in Springfield Gardens, NY. Your foot is your body’s foundational aspect, and taking care of it requires maximum care.
