The heel plate removal surgery usually takes 2 months to recover. Because the heel bone is cancellous bone, there will be nail holes in the heel bone after the plate removal, and the presence of nail holes in the heel bone will easily lead to a weakening of the weight-bearing force of the heel bone, which will cause cracks in the cancellous bone at the nail holes and bleeding when running and jumping or squatting, resulting in significant swelling and pain in the heel bone. Therefore, it is generally necessary to keep warm and rest for 2 months after the heel plate removal surgery to promote the recovery of the nail hole site. Generally, in about 2 months, the nail hole site will have the original bone scab growth, relatively stable, and then you can live and work normally and perform squatting, running and jumping activities.
