I'm 52 and have a 3.8CM Length Discrepancy on my Left Leg due to motorcycle accidents when I was around 16-17. I'm in discussions w/ a local (US) surgeon to have the Precise Nail/Stryde surgery performed.
My concerns:
1. I'm being told this is Out Patient Surgery (23hrs post-op observation and them I go home).
- From my research, I was expecting AT LEAST a 2 -3 day In Patient Hospital Stay. Initial PT, Pain Management and Observation.
2. I was contacted telling me my Insurance has approved the 'Out Patient' surgery and when would I like to schedule the surgery.
- No consult past the 15 min initial office visit where I was told about the Precise Nail.
- There has been no discussion regarding post-op care (PT, Stretching, Pain, Follow-Up Appts, Home Care requirements, etc..)
Am I missing something? Should I be concerned about the apparent lack of experience dealing with this type of surgery and/or patient care?
