A member asked:
After the excision of the medial fragment of my talus, it is very painful to don the moon boot brace. in particular, ot feels like a very sore achilles stretch. is the incision parallel to the achilles and should i worry about wearing the boot?

Hard to say.: It would probably be best to discuss with your surgeon. It may be something benign like stretching out some scar tissue in the area, but you should let your surgeon know to make sure wearing the boot is ok, despite the pain. It may be the first start of a developing pressure sore from the boot or other complication.
