How long can I wash my feet after heel fracture surgery

The general rule of thumb after heel surgery is that the incision will heal in about 3 weeks and you will be able to wash your feet and touch water, but this should be done in conjunction with the development of your disease. Because the area is prone to skin necrosis or infection, as long as these areas are not completely healed within this time period, you should not wash your feet or touch water. Touching water at this time is a major cause of infection in the area, but at this time you can use a wet towel to wipe around the incision, as long as you do not let the water diverge to the incision. In addition, in the process of washing the feet must be careful not to have the weight of the heel fracture site, after all, within a short period of time the healing of the entire fracture will not be very obvious, can not bear the weight, otherwise it is easy to cause the fracture to reappear dislocation.
