Question:

HAVINg SURGERy........HELP??????...

Hi everyone, tomorrow im getting surgery done on my right fibula. The orthodpedists are putting a titanium plate to keep the fibula in place to heal correctly!! So im asking for anyones advice for PREPARATION, RECOVERY TIME, AND FOLLOW UPS cause im on vacation and im wondering if i really have to follow up after the surgery, and lastly will i be able to fly on a plane??
Thxs guys for your answers and help!!! :]


Answers:

No preparation needed, recovery time is 4-6 weeks, you MUST go to your follow up appointment to make sure the bone is healing properly and that there is no infection! Flying will be no prob and dont worry about the metal detector as titanium is not magnetic.
The fibula is mostly non weight bearing so you probably wont even have crutches.
