What to Expect

Your day, step by step.

From the moment you arrive to the moment you walk out, here is exactly what happens — no surprises.

The procedure

A 90-minute visit. Most of it is preparation.

The corrective work itself takes about 45 minutes. The rest is anesthesia onset, imaging, and post-op observation.

01

Arrival and check-in

10 min

You arrive in comfortable clothes. Our team reviews your medical history, takes vitals, and walks you through the day.

02

Local anesthesia

10 min onset

A small amount of local anesthetic is administered around the foot. You stay awake and alert — no sedation, no breathing tube.

03

The correction

~45 min

Through a few millimeter-sized incisions, Dr. Groysman uses specialized microsurgical instruments under live fluoroscopic (X-ray) imaging to realign the joint and stabilize the correction with small internal screws. You feel pressure but no pain.

04

Dressing and post-op

15 min

The incision is closed with a single absorbable suture and covered with a sterile dressing. You are fitted for a surgical sandal and given a written recovery plan.

05

Walk out

Same day

You leave under your own power, in your surgical sandal. Most patients drive themselves home. We follow up with a phone check-in that evening.
