Rehabilitation after polio foot surgery is a gradual and demanding process. Initially, the leg is immobilized in a cast or boot for several weeks to protect the repair. This is followed by a lengthy period of physical therapy focused on regaining range of motion, rebuilding strength, and relearning to walk correctly, often with an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) for temporary support. The entire process to regain full function typically takes 6 to 12 months. Despite the challenging recovery, the vast majority of patients express satisfaction with the outcome, reporting significantly reduced pain, a more stable and plantigrade foot, and greatly improved mobility and independence, even if some residual weakness persists. The trade-off of a lengthy recovery for long-term stability is often considered worthwhile.
