Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Foot After Brachymetatarsia Surgery
I have had brachymetatarsia surgery on my left foot exactly one month today. Day 26 today I have only been able to turn the fixator once, when I tried again it is very tight and hurts when I trun. My foot is swollen and I am also taking some antibiotics. I am seeing my surgeon on Wednesday.

If your fixator is to help you lengthen the metatarsal bone then it has to be turned everyday about a mm per day. so if it is tight and it is painful you rather have to explain to your surgeon receptionist and move your appointment to as soon as possible
