ANKLE AND FOOT SURGERY PRE-OPERATIVE CLASS
Individuals who are scheduled for ankle or foot surgery are encouraged to participate in our Ankle and Foot Surgery Pre-Operative Class along with a family member or caregiver who will be helping you after surgery. The purpose of the class 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 attending the class prior to surgery, patients can make the appropriate modifications to their home environment, obtain necessary equipment, and practice post-operative restrictions before surgery.
To attend the class in person, please go to our Events & Classes page for dates, times and location.
If you are unable to attend in person, please follow this link to watch an educational video on YouTube featuring a Morris Hospital physical therapist.
