Usually not: Most foot surgery is performed at surgery centers or as outpatient hospital surgery. If you are having extensive foot surgery, or you have a medical problem such as diabetes, have a major infection you might be hospitalized. Ask your foot surgeon for more specifics.

Foot surgery: It really depends on the surgery performed and the patients risk factors and past medical history. Most elective surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure.
