A member asked:
What to do if my foot won't bend past 90 degree angle after popliteal artery entraptment surgery/ calf decompression surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to your surgeon: I recommend calling your surgeon to discuss this issue. Having surgery around the calf muscle can cause a tight Achilles tendon, which will keep it from bending up past 90 degrees.
