Shop Post-Surgery Foot & Ankle BracesIt depends on the procedure and your doctor’s guidelines. Some patients only need a boot for a few weeks until they can bear weight comfortably, while others might require it for 6–8 weeks or longer. Regular follow-up visits ensure you transition out of the boot at a safe pace.
If it’s on your right foot, driving can be challenging or unsafe because the boot may restrict ankle flexion. Many surgeons advise patients not to drive until they’re out of the boot or cleared for weight-bearing. Check with your provider, and only drive when you can operate pedals comfortably and safely.
f your surgeon prescribes partial weight-bearing or your pain level is high, crutches or a walker can help offload the operated foot. A walking boot stabilizes the foot, but crutches may still be necessary to maintain balance and limit painful pressure until tissues heal sufficiently.
Elevating your foot above heart level, icing as directed, and wearing a properly fitted post-op boot or shoe that provides gentle compression all help curb swelling. Avoid prolonged standing in early recovery, and follow your therapy exercises to keep circulation moving while preventing excess fluid buildup.
