Watch the Ankle and Foot Surgery Pre-Operative Educational Video
Individuals who are scheduled for ankle or foot surgery are encouraged to view our Ankle and Foot Surgery Pre-Operative educational video along with a family member or caregiver who will be helping you after surgery. The purpose of the video is to ensure that patients having ankle or foot surgery have all the information they need to be safe and compliant with their post-operative recovery. By watching the video prior to surgery, patients can make the appropriate modifications to their home environment, obtain necessary equipment, and practice post-operative restrictions before surgery.
