- Osteoporosis
- EndoscopyTo prevent swelling, lower extremity surgeries do require that your leg be elevated for three to five days following surgery. You will be able to walk for short distances. Showering is prohibited, as bandages and endoscopy sites must remain dry for ten days following surgery. As lower extremities will swell following repetitive stair climbing, extended periods of walking and/or strenuous activities, your activities might require modification for a few months following surgery. Patients can resume normal lifestyle and activities, as tolerated, within the first few weeks, especially with an upper extremity arthroscopy.

- Podiatric SurgeryYou are encouraged to move your arm or leg as soon as you leave the Out Patient Surgery Center. For most arthroscopic surgeries, bandages and sutures are removed within five days. As knee, ankle and foot surgery all require weight-bearing activities, you might benefit from a pair of crutches, a light walker or a cane during the first week. This is more to stabilize your lower extremity rather than to prevent pain from weight bearing activities.
