MY HALLUX VALGUS OPERATION BY PERCUTANEOUS SURGERY |
||
|
1 |
|
You must arrive to the hospital 1 hour before surgery
and with 8 hours fast. |
|
2 |
|
You must wear the post-operation shoe until the
surgery room. |
|

|
|
They will take us to the pre-surgery room. |

One time we are inside of the
surgery room, the nurse will put us some serum. |

The anaesthetist trough this catheter will administer us some medication so we will be relaxed and not have any pain. In this way we won’t notice the anaesthesia. | |
| 5 |
|
The anaesthesia is local and helps to block the sensitive nerves of the feet. It is not necessary to do Spine anaesthesia or general anaesthesia, although each case is different and only remains the professional criteria after the anaesthetist talks to the patient and the surgeon. |

|
After we have the foot anaesthetized, we will go to the surgery room. |
| 7 |
|
After checking that the anaesthesia is perfect we start the surgery. |
| 8 |
|
They will moved us to the recovery room where we will remain for an hour. |
| 9 |
|
After this hour we make the patient to start walking.
If everything is all right, we will release him. It is important to leave with the surgical report and a prescription with the treatment to follow. In the recovery room they will give us analgesics for the next hours. If everything goes right the pain must be minimal. It is a requirement to go on a wheel chair until we get to the car. |
| 10 |
|
We must call the
doctor the following day for a progress report. During the first week we can walk, but it is also very important to rest. |
| 11 |
|
After a week we will go to the hospital to remove the stitches and they will do a post-surgery bandage which is very important. We must use the post-surgery shoe for the whole month from the day of surgery. |
| 12 |
|
After a month they will remove the bandage and they will put a little bandage that will end to correct the toes. It is very important that the patient will learn to put it on himself. This will have to be done for fifteen days or three weeks. In this stage he can wear normal shoes. |
