Product Description

Recovering from foot surgery, bunionectomy, or toe osteotomy requires footwear that protects healing tissue while accommodating post-surgical swelling and bandages. This post-operative shoe features a metatarsal shank that controls forefoot motion, ensuring your surgical site heals without disruption while you maintain mobility during recovery.

Key Features

  • Metatarsal shank restricts forefoot movement to protect surgical sites after osteotomies and bunion procedures.
  • Reinforced padded heel grips securely to prevent slippage during walking and transfers.
  • Breathable mesh upper constructed from lightweight material that conforms to bony irregularities and accommodates swelling.
  • Extra-long adjustable straps fit over bulky dressings, casts, and fluctuating post-surgical edema.
  • Universal fit design works for right or left foot, eliminating inventory confusion.
  • Available in men's, women's, and pediatric sizing to serve patients across all age groups.

FAQs

Q: How do I choose the correct size with post-surgical swelling?

A: Measure your foot including all dressings and bandages, then select the size that provides at least ½ inch clearance beyond your longest toe. Swelling typically influences size selection more than standard shoe size.

Q: Can this shoe be worn on either foot?

A: Yes, each shoe fits right or left foot interchangeably, making it versatile for unilateral procedures.

Q: What procedures require a metatarsal shank versus a standard post-op shoe?

A: Bunionectomies, osteotomies, and forefoot reconstructions benefit from metatarsal shank support because these surgeries require strict control of toe and forefoot motion during healing.

Q: Is this shoe covered by insurance or Medicare?

A: Many insurers reimburse post-operative footwear under HCPCS code L3260 when prescribed by a physician following qualifying foot surgery. Verify coverage with your plan.

Q: How long should I wear this shoe after surgery?

A: Wear duration depends on your surgeon's protocol, typically ranging from 2-6 weeks post-operatively. Follow your physician's specific instructions regarding weight-bearing and footwear transition.
