Close the deep tissue, fascia, subcutaneous and skin layers
Place the foot in a mildly compressive dressing

Post-Op/Follow-Up

Restrict ambulation for the first 48 hours followed by protective weight-bearing in a removable, below-the-knee, walking cast for two weeks
Allow a gradual return to activity over the course of the next month
Typically, adjunctive procedures are performed
The appropriate post-operative care should be followed for these procedures
