Patient: “But my friend had the same foot surgery with you and was back in a sneaker in four weeks! Why is my recovery longer?”
Me: “Because you’re not your friend. Different foot, different anatomy, different medical history. If recovery were that predictable, a robot would do my job.”
Foot and ankle surgery isn’t just about fixing bones—it’s about biomechanics, healing rates, medical comorbidities and avoiding complications. Two patients with the same procedure can have completely different recoveries.
Surgeons don’t follow a script; we make real-time decisions tailored to each patient. Precision, adaptability, and judgment define what we do. Trust the process, not the comparison, PLEASE!

Open vs minimally invasive resection of the first metatarsocuneiform joint - an anatomical study. MIS group yielded a median cartilage resection of 86% compared to 100% in open technique (oscillating saw) with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. https://t.co/cbeOo7YTlG
Similar patient reported outcome scores were found in patients following TAA for both primary and posttraumatic ankle arthritis. Does the type of ankle fracture, intraarticular vs extraarticular, matter much?
