Usually you do not have to stay overnight after a procedure. It depends on the surgeons preference. Contact a physician for further inquiries!

In many cases, heel surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning that patients do not typically stay overnight in the hospital. The specific protocol can vary depending on the nature of the surgery, the surgeon's preferences, and individual health factors.

To get accurate information tailored to your upcoming heel surgery, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our experienced podiatrist at Jose Loor Podiatry Practice. During this appointment, our team will discuss the details of your procedure, including any potential overnight stay requirements.

Heel surgery is typically a same day procedure and should not require an overnight stay in the hospital

Almost never. It is generally ambulatory using walking aids like crutches.
Most likely reason for an overnight is if you are a smoker or have other risk factors or is there is a complication from the surgery.
Good fortune

Depends on doctor preference. In my office, my patients have surgery only with local anesthesia. No hardware is used. And they walk out of the office in a recovery boot. Please address your concerns with your doctor.
