How long does it take to recover from surgery for a heel spur?

The recovery time after heel spur surgery depends on how well the patient recovers from the incision. Bone spurs in the heel are treated conservatively, and surgical removal is considered only if the spur is large. The hospital stay after surgery is about 7 days. If the incision heals well and there is no infection, the patient can be discharged with the doctor’s permission. Before the incision is completely healed, the patient must wear soft-soled shoes when walking on the ground and should not spend too much time on the ground, as it may cause pain at the incision if he starts walking more. Patients need to take good care of the incision site, do not let it get wet, you can wipe the area around the incision with a wet towel to keep it clean and prevent infection. If the incision site is accidentally cracked, you should go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner and do not handle it privately.
